The Women Writer's Prize (女流文学者賞 Joryū bungakusha shō) was a Japanese literature prize presented annually from 1946 to 1960 to the (female) author of a superb literary work. While there were twelve prize competitions, there are fifteen recipients of the Women Writer's Prize. In 1951, 1956, and 1960, two authors received the prize; in 1958, no author was determined to meet the selection criteria; and in 1949 and 1955, no prize competitions were held.

While Kamakura Bunko's "Ladies' Press" (婦人文庫 Fujin bunko) originally supervised the selection, after their bankruptcy in 1949, the Women Writer's Society (女流文学者会 Joryū bungakusha kai) administered the prize. In 1961, when Kamakura Bunko was taken over by Chūokōron, it became the Women's Literature Prize.

The Fujin Kōron Literary Prize (婦人公論文芸賞 Fujin Kōron bungei shō) was a literary prize established by Chūokōron-Shinsha, which was awarded to literary works (including novels and essays) that took "women" as their theme. Its antecedent was the Women's Literature Prize. The Prize was awarded once a year in October, and considered works written between July of the preceding year and June of the current year; the selection committee members announced the recipient following a group consultation. The winner was given a memento to commemorate her victory, and also received an additional monetary prize of one million yen.

In 2006, the Fujin Kōron Literary Prize became redundant, and was succeeded by the Chūokōron Literary Prize.
