Focusing on feminist theory, this study challenges traditional views of authority in translation, positioning translators as literary activists. Sherry Simon explores the intersection of gender and translation through historical analyses, including the contributions of women translators from the Renaissance to the twentieth century and feminist reinterpretations of the Bible. The work critically engages with linguistic issues and the influence of thinkers like Luce Irigaray, aiming to reshape the discourse around culture and translation practices.
