Each year a committee of peers reviews published papers nominated, and it awards the lead authors of the paper deemed to be the most impactful in the field of obstetrical, gynecologic and breast disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history of the award traces back to the Columbia Hospital for Women, opened in Washington, D.C. in 1866 and closed in 2002, to support the health-care needs of wives and widows of Civil War soldiers. The research foundation established by the women\u2019s auxiliary lives on and is maintained today by members of the Women’s and Perinatal Pathology Division at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and former physicians who practiced at the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
