Lerner-Scott Prize
The Lerner-Scott Prize is given annually by the Organization of American Historians for the best doctoral dissertation in U.S. women’s history. The prize is named for Gerda Lerner and Anne Firor Scott, both pioneers in women’s history and past presidents of the OAH.
A dissertation must be completed during the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 to be eligible for the 2020 Lerner-Scott Prize.
The award will be presented at the 2020 OAH Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., April 2–5.
