This prize of $2000 honors the memory of Marjorie Morse Lozoff. In an extraordinarily productive life as wife, mother, sociologist, social worker, teacher, researcher, and community leader, Marjorie Lozoff served as a model for the idea that most deeply absorbed her: furthering women's development for the benefit of women, men, children, and society. In 2002 the Lozoff family—Dr. Milton Lozoff, and his daughters and their families—established an annual prize in memory of Marjorie.
