Coalition for Western Women's History -- Irene Ledesma Prize

The Coalition for Western Women's History (CWWH) is accepting applications for the 13th Annual Irene Ledesma Prize.

The $1,000 prize supports travel to collections or other research expenses related to the histories of women and gender in the American West. Applicants must be enrolled in a Ph.D. program and members of the CWWH. The prize honors the memory of Irene Ledesma whose contributions to Chicana and working-class history were ended by her untimely death in 1997. The prize will be awarded at the Western History Association Conference in October.

See the CWWH website at http://www.westernwomenshistory.org/ for directions on how to apply for this graduate student prize. The deadline for applications is May 15, 2011.
