Discover the voices that transcend borders. Explore our curated Women in Translation reading list, just in time for Women in Translation Month. Immerse yourself in stories from around the world, penned by talented women writers and expertly translated to share their diverse perspectives and narratives.
Celebrated globally, WiT Month stands as a cherished tradition within the digital literary realm and holds a significant presence in local bookshops worldwide. Throughout August, bibliophiles spanning continents (Antarctica notwithstanding—though even penguins might join eventually!) unite virtually and occasionally in real spaces to partake in the exploration, evaluation, and discourse surrounding literary creations by women writers.
Beyond the pages, this initiative strives to amplify its impact. It strives to illuminate the entirety of the WiT project, while also directing a focused spotlight on the individual creators—women writers who traverse linguistic borders and echo their voices in new languages. You’re invited to be part of this movement, to add your voice to the narrative.
The goal is to raise awareness about the broader initiative while spotlighting individual women writers in and their work. Join the conversation using #WITMonth across Twitter, Instagram, Booktube, and beyond to resonate worldwide!
