The Editorial Board of the Journal of Women’s History is proud to
announce the second biennial prize for the best article manuscript in
the field of women’s history authored by a graduate student. Article
manuscripts in any chronological and geographical area are welcome.
Manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words, including endnotes, and
should follow the University of Chicago *Manual of Style*, 16th edition.
Please also submit an abstract of no more than 150 words that summarizes the
argument and significance of the work. We seek work that has broad
significance for the field of women’s history in general by addressing
issues that transcend the particulars of the case or by breaking new
ground methodologically.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, along with a cover
letter specifying the author’s graduate advisor, program, and status (i.e.,
year in program, ABD, etc.), by January 1, 2014 to each member of the
committee: Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, chair <wu.287@osu.edu>, Vera Mackie <vera@uow.edu.au>, and Lora Wildenthal <wildenth@rice.edu>.
The winning author will receive $3000, and the article, after the normal
process of revision, will be published in the Journal of Women’s
History.
The prize will be awarded in May at the Berkshire Conference in Toronto.
