The Willie Lee Rose Prize is awarded annually for the best book in Southern history authored by a woman. Only monographs with a copyright date of 2022 are eligible for the award in 2023. Entries must be written in English, but the competition is open to works published outside the U.S., and presses may submit as many eligible books as they choose.
