The Berkshire Conference of Women Historians awards two annual book prizes in the following categories:
•
A first book that deals substantially with the history of women, gender, and/or sexuality.
•
A first book in any field of history that does not focus on the history of women, gender, and/or sexuality.
Eligibility Guidelines
•
A nominated book must be written by a woman normally residing in North America.

Awards are for a first book, so the author may not have previously published any other book-length work.
•
Submissions must be published between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023.
•
Textbooks, juvenile literature, documentary collections, comic books, fiction, poetry, and collections of
essays are not eligible for either prize.
