Established in 1994 under the will of Nita May Dobbie, the Kibble Literary Awards for Women Writers comprise two awards: the Kibble and the Dobbie. Both awards recognise female writers who have published fiction or non-fiction classified as 'life writing'. This includes novels, autobiographies, biographies, literature and any writing with a strong personal element.
