This volume offers an in-depth exploration of the translation
activity of Greek women translators in the nineteenth century,
illuminating the role of translation as a means of resistance
against sociocultural norms and the enduring impact of their work
on the rise of feminism in Greece. Drawing on frameworks from the
sociology of translation, the book situates the practices and
behaviours of women translators within this specific sociocultural
and historical context to underscore the importance of translation
in their lives and society. Drawing on authentic texts, including
dedication letters and prologues, Misiou unpacks the discourses,
themes, strategies, and dialogues individual translators employed
to affirm a sense of agency in their claims to education and civil
rights, their role in cultural life as producers of texts, and to
give greater voice to the wider community of women translators. The
volume showcases women translators as agents and mediators of
cultural and social change and active contributors to the theory
and practice of translation, expanding theoretical discourse on
gender and translation and offering directions for future research.
This book will be of particular interest to scholars in translation
studies, particularly those with an interest in translation and
gender, feminist translation studies, and translation history.
