The Prize will be presented at the conference of Australian Historical Association or the Association for the Study of Australian Literature in alternate years. If two winners are chosen, the cash prize will be shared between them. Eligibility: Nominations are invited for a published biography in the form of a book on an Australian subject published in 2008 or 2009 by a female author.
