1/14: 365 days. 365 #womenintranslation. Scores of languages and countries. Experiences. Writers as old as literature itself and some whose first works were only recently published. The #DailyWIT is a reading list unlike any other you're likely to encounter this year...
#DailyWIT Day 365/365: Laila al-Atrash is a prominent writer and journalist based in Jordan. Her novel A Woman of Five Seasons was translated from Arabic into English by Nora Nweihid Halwani and Christopher Tingley.

Hi all! I'm not really back here, but wanted to share a new logo/button/whatever for #WITMonth 2026, and share that I posted thoughts about it on my old blog: biblibio.blogspot.com/2026/0…
Hope everyone's doing well, amassing titles for August, and ready to read some excellent books!

wp.me/pauSsa-3R8 Sorry, I didn't read anything for #WITMonth for 2024! But I did read three translated books by female authors earlier this year - all in May! So here's a post about those books, instead. Thanks @Read_WIT for this yearly challenge! #Womenintranslation

#WITMonth is about reading women in translation, AND about reviews of women in translation (and we love seeing all the WWB contributors reviewed here)!
August is #WITMonth, and we’re kicking off the celebrations with 6 reviews of recent books by women, translated into English, from our July issue. For the month of August, these 6 reviews are available to all to read free of charge!

Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck is a masterpiece in every way. Stifling at times, so close to the bone I actually cried, linguistically stunning, oppressive, beautiful, political yet incredibly human. Cannot recommend it enough. #WITM @Read_WIT.
