Date and Venue: Tuesday 11 March 2025 @ the London Book Fair (Olympia London)

There have been numerous efforts to promote translations of women’s writing in the English-language book industry. In this panel, co-organised with the British Centre for Literary Translation, we’ll ask whether choosing to translate and publish women is a feminist act, and what else ‘feminist’ translation might entail. What would a feminist approach to translation look like in practice? Is there a place for feminist translation in the contemporary literary landscape?

On the panel will be Jozefina Komporaly, Carolina Orloff and Cecilia Rossi, and the moderator will be Rosalind Harvey.
