Women in Translation Month was launched in 2014, a creation of literary blogger Meytal Radzinski as a response to her observation that only around 30% of books published in translation were by women. At Host Publications, we celebrate women in translation all year round, but August is a special time of year to elevate those writers and share some of our favorites with you!

Voices from the Bitter Core by URSULA KRECHEL translated by Amy Kepple Strawser
Women and Clothes by BRIGITTE KRONAUER trans. By Jutta Ittner
Reason Enough by Ida Vitale trans. By Sarah Pollack
