But as the outcry over Limbaugh's remarks cools and the Affordable Care Act winds its way through the Supreme Court, Fluke says she hopes to shine the media's spotlight on other women's legislation in the works right now.

"One thing I'm very concerned about is the Violence Against Women act," Fluke told The Huffington Post after receiving the award.

The Act, which passed initially in 1994 and is currently up for re-authorization, has received pushback from some members of the Senate because the newest version provides domestic violence support for gays, lesbians, Native Americans and illegal immigrants.

"This has been landmark bipartisan legislation since 1994 ... this year it's having problems in Congress that it never faced before," Fluke said. "Violence against women should not be something that any of us are having any trouble agreeing about."
