The last thirty years of intellectual and artistic creativity in
the 20th century have been marked by gender issues. Translation
practice, translation theory and translation criticism have also
been powerfully affected by the focus on gender. As a result of
feminist praxis and criticism and the simultaneous emphasis on
culture in translation studies, translation has become an important
site for the exploration of the cultural impact of gender and the
gender-specific influence of cuture. With the dismantling of
'universal' meaning and the struggle for women's visibility in
feminist work, and with the interest in translation as a visible
factor in cultural exchange, the linking of gender and translation
has created fertile ground for explorations of influence in
writing, rewriting and reading. Translation and Gender places
recent work in translation against the background of the women's
movement and its critique of 'patriarchal' language. It explains
translation practices derived from experimental feminist writing,
the development of openly interventionist translation strategies,
the initiative to retranslate fundamental texts such as the Bible,
translating as a way of recuperating writings 'lost' in patriarchy,
and translation history as a means of focusing on women translators
of the past.
