Women in Translation Month

Women in Translation Month is an annual campaign every August raising awareness about the gender disparities in world literature. Only about 25% of books translated into English each year are written by female authors, meaning that many talented women are inaccessible to English-speaking readers. We've collected some of our favorite books from women authors around the world below.
