Introduction: A snapshot in time: Gender in translation for the first quarter of the 21st century

Abstract

Gender has been part of Translation Studies since the 1960s, however the conceptualisation of the word and what it entails shifted dramatically in the intervening decades, encompassing everything from early feminist translation strategies of the Canadian school to the most recent discussions about gender-neutral language for the trans community. This article maps out some of these challenges and provides a platform for an insight into the current trends and themes in the first quarter of the 21^st century.
