When we think of ‘Women in Translation’, we often gravitate towards fiction. Did you know there are some incredible translated memoirs just waiting for you to discover them?

🖤Things That Disappear -Jenny Erpenbeck (trans. Kurt Beals) is a reflection of what we have known and have lost. Coming from a country once divided, Erpenbeck’s essays cover the demolition of a building once deemed the home of the Eastern German government, to the loss of the skill to darn tights because simply purchasing a new pair was not an option. We are made to question the permanence of all around us, and in doing so see the value they hold to us in the here and now.

⭐Outsider Everywhere - Mercedes Halfon (trans. Rahul Bery)
A biography following Witold Gombrowicz from the day he chose not to return to Poland at the beginning of World War 2, but instead spent 24 years in Argentina. Following a man who would one day be considered ‘one of the greatest writers of our time’, Halfon tells of a bohemian South American country, with vignettes that highlight the author's desire to destabilise and subvert at every possible moment.

💙I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokbokki -Baek Sehee (trans. Anton Hur)
What started as a global phenomenon showing one woman’s conversations with her therapist has evolved into a somber piece of literature following the passing of Baek Sehee in 2025. Baek’s offer of vulnerability has helped so many readers feel understood when facing their own struggles with depression and suicide, while also battling the almost juxtaposing thoughts of still craving comfort foods, going on dates, and being perceived to ‘function’ in the world.
