Paris, Dec 20 (ANI): The wife of shamed former International Monetary fund (IMF) chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Anne Sinclair, who stood by her during his sex scandals, has been named as Woman of the Year in a poll for a French magazine.
Sinclair, 63, was chosen as the woman who had most "made her mark" in 2011 in the CSA poll for online women's magazine Terrafemina.
She scored 25 percent support among the 10 female personalities that respondents were asked to rank.
Sinclair was followed by current IMF chief Christine Lagarde with 24 percent and the former contender to be the Socialist party candidate in next year's presidential vote, Martine Aubry, with 23 percent, The Nation reports.
French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy scored 16 percent support while at the bottom of the list was writer Tristane Banon, who had accused Strauss-Kahn of an attempted rape in 2003, with four percent.
Sinclair publicly stood by her husband during the scandals, appearing regularly at his side.
Some earlier media reports, however, suggested that Sinclair was deciding to leave him in the wake of a series of sex scandals.
The reports also said that Sinclair was demanding that Strauss-Kahn to pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars that she had spent on his defence in New York. (ANI)
