Call for Nominations: 2016 Berkshire Conference Book Prizes
Description of Prizes
The Berkshire Conference of Women Historians annually awards two book prizes:
- For a first book that deals substantially with the history of women, gender, and/or sexuality
- For a first book in any field of history that does not focus on the history of women, gender, and/or sexuality
Eligibility
- Awards are for a first book, so the author may not have previously published any other book-length work.
- A nominated book must be written by a woman normally resident in North America.
- Submissions must be published between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
- Textbooks, juvenile literature, documentary collections, fiction, poetry, and collections of essays are not eligible for either prize.
