15 Women In Translation Books | WIT Month 2024 | Korean, Swedish, Japanese, Hungarian, French & More

Hi, I’m Mo.
For Women in Translation month this year, I thought I would talk about the 15 books by women in translation that I have read since last year at this time. The eagle eyed among you may have noticed I forgot one!! I thought about editing it in, but instead, this gives me an excuse to do another video! And plus I still mention 15 books, so the title is almost accurate!

I have been really enjoying trying to read a lot of works in translation this year (and last year!) and it's fun to get to talk about those written by women here again! Along side the 14 women authors I read since last year there are also 10 women translators on this list.

Women in Translation Month is a time to celebrate women authors whose works have been translated! Anyone can join in! Bonus points if the translator is also a woman!

What's your favorite book by a woman in translation? What is your most read translated language?
