Doris Kearns Goodwin
The Women's National Book Association is honored to present the 1998 WNBA Award to Doris Kearns Goodwin for her commitment to scholarship and the written word; for her contribution, through her writing, to our understanding of the public life; for her reminder by example that the true scholar is a woman of many interests; for her generosity in sharing her knowledge with all who ask. "And gladly would she learn and gladly teach."
