The Kore Award for Best Dissertation in Women and Mythology  is conferred by the Association for the Study of Women and Mythology. The award, established in 2009, is funded by the gift of a generous contributor. The intention behind its founding is to create awareness of excellence in Women and Mythology, and to provide an organizational framework for supporting graduate students in their work.
