Description
The Émilie Du Châtelet Award is an annual research prize offered by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) and managed by its Women’s Caucus. It supports independent and adjunct scholars working on feminist or Women’s Studies subjects related to the eighteenth century.
The award funds work already in progress, rather than projects that have not yet begun, and is intended for research commensurate in scope with a scholarly article or book chapter. Eligible projects advance understanding of women’s experiences and contributions to eighteenth-century culture, or offer a feminist analysis of any aspect of eighteenth-century culture or society.
