The Institute is delighted to announce that the winner of the 2021 Alice Emily Bithell Prize is Monika Lendermann. Monika, a student at King’s College London, graduated with a BA in European Studies (German), at the top of her cohort.
Her dissertation, on Women’s Autobiographical Writing and Gendered Conceptions of National Identity in German South-West Africa, 1905-12, which examined works by Helene von Falkenhausen, Margarethe von Eckenbrecher, Maria Karow and Clara Brockmann, was described by examiners as being of postgraduate-level work and of clearly publishable quality.
