This year’s history category had two winners. Ms. DuVal was honored for “a vivid and accessible account” of Native American nations and communities over a thousand years, the committee said. Ms. Fields-Black won for “a richly-textured and revelatory account of a slave rebellion.”

Everett’s novel was honored at the 2025 awards, along with other books in the categories of fiction, general nonfiction, memoir, poetry, history and biography.

The award, for exposing the fatal consequences of abortion bans, marks ProPublica’s 8th Pulitzer; investigation into mental health care access is named a Pulitzer finalist.
