Anetq's 2021 WiT Challenge

[Anetq]

Not how many I'll get to, just checked - I read about 60 women last year, and some of those would have been in original English or Danish... But I should be able to cover at least 20 (probably more).

For anyone wanting to read Danish literature translated into English, I made a list a few years ago: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

Books in my current piles that fit the category:

Europe:
Simone de Beauvoir De uadskillelige aka The Inseparables
Friederike Mayröcker Rejse gennem natten aka Reise durch die Nacht
Marguerite Yourcenar Orientalske noveller aka Oriental Tales
Asli Erdogan By i blodrød kappe aka The City in Crimson Cloak
Jenny Hval Perlebryggeriet aka Paradise Rot
Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold 33

Asia:
Can Xue Aldrende skyer i drift

Africa:
Lauren Beukes Den som han peger på aka The Shining Girls
Buchi Emecheta Børn er en velsignelse aka The Joys of Motherhood

US:
Tara Westover Oplyst
Lisa Taddeo Tre kvinder
Karin Slaughter Den sidste enke

Thanks for the list I'll check it out, interesting selection a number of writers whose work I've enjoyed although not the same works, and Mayrocker someone I'm meaning to read soon.

Thank you! I've really enjoyed the Danish novels in translation that I've tried so far.
