Details:
The Ann Snitow Prize is a $12,500 yearly award for a feminist intellectual and activist, living and working in the United States, who has consistently exhibited the qualities that led Ann to be so admired and cherished.
The awardee is:
- A feminist, broadly defined: someone for whom feminism goes beyond a movement for rights and equality to a vision of a world without social domination or economic exploitation, a world of security, freedom, and pleasure.
- An intellectual and/or artist who thinks with rigor, flexibility, and originality, who tolerates contradiction and even relishes ambiguity—and who inspires and nurtures the intellectual and creative best in others.
- A radical social justice activist who practices generosity, integrity, and perseverance—and is effective, whether in instigating new formations; mobilizing and connecting people; and/or sustaining and growing campaigns, projects, groups, and institutions.
Geographical Areas
At this time the Prize committee is only considering nominees living and working in the United States and Puerto Rico.
