“Overall, this volume offers a well-organised collection of empirical research that may help students to ‘develop a critical and reflective translation process with a gender lens’ … . In addition, each chapter in the book is self-contained and readers can select chapters on the basis of their research interests. … this volume represents a courageous attempt at investigating the relatively underexplored field … and therefore is worth reading for researchers and practitioners in both translation- and gender-related fields.” (Xinxin Wu, Gender and Language, Vol. 15 (3), 2021)
