The 2010 Susie Pryor
Award Competition
The Arkansas Women’s History Institute announces its call
for the 2010 Susie Pryor Award submissions. The award is named in honor of Susie
Hampton Newton Pryor - one of the first women to run for political office in
Arkansas, community leader, mother, local historian and writer from Camden,
Arkansas.
The Susie Pryor Award in Arkansas Women’s History
offers a $1,000 prize annually for the best unpublished essay on
topics in Arkansas women’s history.
Manuscripts are judged on their contributions to knowledge
of women in Arkansas’s history, use of primary and secondary materials, and
analytical and stylistic excellence. The winning paper may be published.
Deadline for submission is February 15, 2010.
The winner will be announced at the 2010 meeting of the
Arkansas Historical Association in Jonesboro on April 15-17, 2010.
