The Victoria Schuck Award is an annual prize granted by the American Political Science Association to the author of the best book published in the previous year on the topic of women and politics. The award is named in honor of the political scientist Victoria Schuck. Although a number of area-specific sections of the American Political Science Association have dedicated book awards, the Schuck Award is one of only a few awards given directly by the Association rather than by a subsection of it.




History


The prize was established in 1986 by the American Political Science Association's Executive Director Thomas E. Mann, its President Aaron Wildavsky, and its Executive Council, at the urging of Victoria Schuck. It was originally endowed by Schuck at a value of $500 per award, out of a fund that she donated totaling $3000. By 2020 the award carried a prize of $750.
The committee that awards the prize consists of political scientists who are members of the American Political Science Association; the first prize was awarded by Susan J. Carroll, Jean Bethke Elshtain, and Norma Noonan.
