In honor of Women in Translation Month, we’re shining a light on the often-overlooked world of translated books for teens. Despite the popularity of translated works among Adult and Children’s audiences, there remains a relative lack of translated YA titles available to English-speaking readers. Women in Translation Month offers the perfect opportunity to highlight emerging voices from around the globe, so we’ve gathered some of our favorite translated titles from international women authors below. Explore these diverse voices and expand your reading horizons!
