Read a translated book originally written by a woman. Virtual high five if the translator is a woman too!

2023 Books in Translation Reading Challenge - hosted by jgintrovertedreader

3% of the books published in the United States are translations. Only 30% of those were written by women. August is Women in Translation month so you might want to plan your reading to coincide with that.
