Women in Translation Database

New proof just in… and we are so excited about this one. We’ve just received an early copy of Wonderland by @hannanordenhok , brought into English by award-winning translator @saskia.vogel , landing this September. From the author of our 2024 #FeaturedFive favourite Caesaria, this is a kaleidoscopic exploration of identity and the stories we construct to survive. Shifting between a woman drifting between cities and towns along the Pacific Coast, rival journalists in Athens caught in a cat-and-mouse game of fact and fiction, and a carefully curated life in southern Sweden balanced on a knife’s edge, Wonderland unfolds like a hall of mirrors - its characters trying to find their way in that slippery world of post-truth. Shortlisted for major literary prizes and already named among Sweden’s best books of the year, this is one we’ve been dying to read. Thanks to @pressheloise for the early copy!

This August, to celebrate Women in Translation Month🥳🥳🥳 we would be shining the spotlight on three women across the African continent whose words cross languages, borders, and generations. 🌍📚 Their stories carry our heritage; our tours bring you to the lands that inspired them. ✨ #WomenInTranslation #HerStoryAcrossBorders #africanqueen👑 @theblacktravelclub @blacktravelfeed @essenceofblackculture @blacknbakersfield @africandiasporainternational @africanarchives @womenintranslation

“I also read another book,Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, I loved reading that book, it was basically the story of every woman ever, I’m still in my early adulthood, but I resonated with everything that’s written on that book about being a woman, stuck in a loop of inescapable sexism, feeling lost and confined to rules and demoralising, unfair treatments by the society. It was like watching an interesting k-drama,it kept me hooked till the last page. But the end just proves how even people capable of critical and analytical thinking, who knows and understands the struggles and consequences of the afore mentioned unfair systemic sexism just chooses to do something regressive.” It is a diary entry from three years ago. I have written a detailed review, please slide through the carousel to read them🐳🌻 . . . . . . . . . .
