Welcome to the UNC Press Virtual Exhibit for the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians.
Since we can’t be together at the “Big Berks” conference, we’re bringing our book exhibit to you.
From virtually anywhere, you can browse our list of new and recent titles, chat with our editors Debbie Gershenowitz, Brandon Proia, Mark Simpson-Vos, and Elaine Maisner, learn about our new books in women’s history and gender studies, and more.
Here are some recent author interviews on new books for #Berks2020:
All of our books (in fact, our entire site) are available now at our 40 percent Berks conference discount. Plus if your order totals $75, domestic U.S. shipping is FREE! Just use promo code 01DAH40 at checkout.

Follow the links at the left for information on submitting a book proposal, ordering desk or examination copies (even free digital exam copies), classroom permissions, disability resources, and more. We’ve even created a handy FAQ document, with answers to the most-asked questions we get at exhibit booths.
Click on any book below to learn more. And, using our View Inside feature, you can leaf through the pages for a preview of each new book, just as if you were standing at our booth. Check it out on each book page.
