The Kibble Literary Awards comprise two awards which are presented annually: the Nita B Kibble Literary Award, which recognises the work of an established Australian female writer, and the Dobbie Literary Award, which is for a first published work by a female writer.〔〔(Kibble and Dobbie Awards )〕 The Awards recognise the works of women writers of fiction or non-fiction classified as 'life writing'. This includes novels, autobiographies, biographies, literature and any writing with a strong personal element. The Kibble Literary Awards were established in 1994 and are named in honour of Nita Kibble (1879–1962), who was the first woman to be a librarian with the State Library of New South Wales.〔(The Nita Kibble Literary Award )〕 She was Principal Research Librarian from 1919 until her retirement in 1943, and was a founding member of the Australian Institute of Librarians. The Kibble Awards for Women Writers were established by Nita Dobbie, through her will, in recognition of her aunt, Nita Kibble, who had raised her from birth after her mother died.〔(Kibble Awards for Women Writers )〕 Miss Dobbie followed her aunt into the library profession. She believed there was a need to foster women’s writing in the community.〔 The awards are currently worth A$35,000 in total. The Trust established for the award is managed by Perpetual Limited, and the award is administered in association with the State Library of New South Wales. ==Winners of the Nita B Kibble Literary Award for Women Writers== *2015 - ''The Golden Age'', Joan London *2014 - ''Boy Lost: A Family Memoir'', Kristina Olsson *2013 - ''The Beloved'', Annah Faulkner *2012 - ''Five Bells'', Gail Jones *2011 - ''Reading by Moonlight'', Brenda Walker *2010 - ''The Ghost at the Wedding'', Shirley Walker *2009 - ''An Exacting Heart: The Story of Hephzibah Menuhin'', Jacqueline Kent *2008 - ''Nights in the Asylum'', Carol Lefevre *2007 - ''Careless'', Deborah Robertson *2006 - ''The Wing of Night'', Brenda Walker *2005 - ''Plenty'', Gay Bilson *2004 - ''That Oceanic Feeling'', Fiona Capp *2003 - ''Black Mirror'', Gail Jones *2002 - ''A Certain Style: Beatrice Davis, A Literary Life'', Jacqueline Kent *2001 - ''Tiger's Eye: A Memoir'', Inga Clendinnen *2000 - ''Stravinsky's Lunch'', Drusilla Modjeska *1999 - ''Foreign Correspondence: A Pen Pal's Journey From Down Under to All Over'', Geraldine Brooks *1998 - ''Snake Cradle'', Roberta Sykes *1997 - ''True Stories: Selected Non-Fiction'', Helen Garner *1996 - ''Judy Cassab: Diaries'', Judy Cassab *1995 - ''The Orchard'', Drusilla Modjeska *1994 - ''Lovers' Knots: A Hundred-Year Novel'', Marion Halligan ==Winners of the Dobbie Literary Award== *2015 - ''Heat and Light'' by Ellen van Neerven *2014 - ''Madness: A Memoir'' by Kate Richards *2013 - ''Toyo: A Memoir'', Lily Chan *2012 – ''Past The Shallows'', Favel Parrett *2011 – ''Night Street'', Kristel Thornell *2010 – ''The Book of Emmett'', Deborah Forster *2009 – ''Fugitive Blue'', Claire Thomas *2008 – ''The Anatomy of Wings'', Karen Foxlee *2007 – ''Swallow the Air'', Tara June Winch *2006 – ''Everyman's Rules for Scientific Living'', Carrie Tiffany *2005 – ''The Secret World of Annette Robinson'', (Paulette Gittins ) *2004 – ''The Alphabet of Light and Dark'', Danielle Wood *2000 – ''Off the Rails: The Pauline Hanson Trip'', Margo Kingston *1999 – ''Hiam'', Eva Sallis *1998 - ''Steam Pigs'', Melissa Lucashenko 〔 http://www.uqp.uq.edu.au/Author.aspx/936/%20Melissa%20Lucashenko 〕 *1997 – ''Listening for Small Sounds'', Pepe Trevor *1996 – ''My Own Sweet Time'', Leon Carmen (under the pseudonym Wanda Koolmatrie) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nita Kibble Literary Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
