Translation and Gender : Translating in the 'Era of Feminism'

Translation and Gender places recent work in translation against the background of the women's movement and its critique of "e;patriarchal"e; language. It explains translation practices derived from experimental feminist writing, the development of openly interventionist translation practices, the initiative to retranslate fundamental texts such as the Bible, translating as a way of recuperating writings "e;lost"e; in patriarchy, and translation history as a means of focusing on women translators of the past.
