Thea Johanne Prytz Hammarqvist (IKOS) has won STK’s annual MA award for her analysis of the Japanese novel Yaneura no nishojo (1919). Her thesis asks whether it makes sense to call the book a “lesbian” novel, but also demonstrates how the text challenges concurrent sexological discourses that framed heterosexual marriage as the only correct choice for women.
