Abstract: NWSA offers an annual $1,000 Alison Piepmeier book award for a groundbreaking monograph in women, gender, and sexuality studies that makes significant contributions to feminist disability studies scholarship thanks to a gift from Susan Shaw, Patti Duncan, Jane Nichols, Kryn Freehling-Burton, and Nancy Barbour. The donation comes from the contributor budget from a four-volume reference collection, Women's Lives Around the World: A Global Encyclopedia (ABC-CLIO, 2018). This prize honors Alison Piepmeier, an active member and leader of NWSA whose scholarship examined the intersection of feminist and disability studies, with a particular emphasis on reproductive decisions and disabilities and parenting and disabilities.
