The Impact of Feminist Movement on Translation and Gender Equality

Abstract

This article examines how feminist works have evolved in literature, film, and social media. Studies show that the feminist movement changed translation, which led people to notice some unjust translation phenomena. The focus of the essay is how the feminist movement has affected translation. According to the current perspective, the feminist movement has prompted changes in the role of women in society. Although focusing too much on the theoretical aspects of translation may lessen criticism, people have a suspicious mindset. By presenting an overview of the feminist movement’s development and the impact of the feminist movement on translation, this article also explores the development and trends of feminist translation theory. In China, due to the great difference between the cultural ideology of China and Western countries, feminist translation theory is not accepted universally; there is a large room for the practice of feminist translation theory.
