Every three years, the Kenneth Carroll Prize is awarded for the best article appearing in Quaker History, in this instance the best article in the six issues beginning Spring 2019 and ending Fall 2021.

The prize honors the late Kenneth Carroll, past president of the Friends Historical Association and a noted scholar of religion, who was a long-time, loyal, and generous supporter of scholarly excellence, especially in Quakerism.

The Publications Committee of the Friends Historical Association selected Janet Moore Lindman’s article, “‘Deluded Women’ and ‘Violent Men’: Women, Gender, and Language in the Hicksite Schism,” which was published in the Spring 2020 issue of Quaker History. In making its selection, the committee commended Lindman for extending the boundaries of both Quaker-Hicksite history and women’s history, shining new light on aspects of several familiar narratives. The judges also noted that Lindman addresses issues of post-Revolutionary “citizenship,” opening out some of the often opaque questions of citizenship and definitions of appropriate “citizenship behaviors.”

Dr. Lindman teaches courses on early American history, U.S. women’s history, feminism, and gender at Rowan University in New Jersey. Her primary research interests include religious history, gender history, and women in early America. Dr. Lindman is the author of several publications, including Bodies of Belief: Baptist Community in Early America (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008). Her current book project is on American Quakerism in the antebellum era.
