Congratulations to Robert Hawkins who won the Manitoba Day Award for his biography of Lillian Beynon Thomas. She Won the Vote for Women was published in the fall of 2024.

The Manitoba Day Awards, presented by the Association for Manitoba Archives, recognize projects—books along with other media—that make strong use of archival materials.

Great Plains Press was thrilled to have two books on the shortlist for awards this year—She Won the Vote for Women alongside Portage & Main by Sabrina Janke and Alex Judge.

Thank you to the award organizers and congratulations to all of the nominees and award winners!
