The department of English in association with the library club organised the book release of Women Writing Women on 25th October 2022 at 12.00 p. m at St. Teresa's College, (Autonomous) Ernakulam. Dr. Preeti Kumar, Head of Department of English delivered the welcome address at the function presided over by Dr. Sr. Vinitha CSST, the Provincial Superior and Manager of the college. Dr. Rangarajan Gopalakrishnan, former faculty, Maharaja's college, inaugurated the library club activities and released the book by handing over the first copy to Dr. Anitha Devasia, former faculty and a renowned translator. Dr. Priya KNair in her keynote address emphasised the importance of finding the female voices lost in the annals of literary history. Sr. Ashritha CSST, Senior Librarian, St. Teresa’s College was also present. Women Writing Women is a collection of short stories in translation unified by their common focus on writing by and about women. Edited and compiled by Dr. Priya K. Nair and Dr. Jisha John- both faculty of the department of English, the book owes a great deal to the enthusiasm and research skills of ten alumni of the college who undertook the challenge of translating critically acclaimed Malayalam short stories into English with utmost dedication. The editorial preface to the stories evaluates the theoretical aspects of women’s writing as well as women’s representation in literature and connects the trajectory of women’s tradition to the scope and method of feminist literary criticism. The translator’s note which traverses the intersection between gender, language and translation is an innovative creative practice which outlines the experiences of the translators, their reasons behind choosing the texts and the ways in which these aspects have influenced the translation process. The book is a critical step towards rediscovering and reintroducing female voices, which have been long suppressed in women’s literature.
