A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE CONCEPT OF GENDER INTRANSLATION STUDIES

A significant amount of academic literature and researches in the field of translation are being focused on the gender notion in translation in recent years (e.g. von Flotow 2001, Simon 1996, and Chamberlain 1998).After the revolution of the worldwide suffrage of the 20th century and the women´s liberation movement of the 1970´s promoted a revision from the feminists to actively interrogate the usual and accepted versions of the History as it was known at the time. New way of looking at history came out of the analysis. This gave birth to the Gender History studies. So Gender in Translation is the first comprehensive study of feminist issues in translation theory and practice(Munday, 2006, p. 131).
