Abstract

In the 1970s, the famous “cultural turn” in translation field combined feminism with translation studies. Feminist translation theory then came into being and became popular across the world. The feminist translation theory aims to manifest the female identity and strive for women’s status through translation, and analyzes translation works from a gender perspective. It emphasizes on differences between male and female translators and explores gender’s influence on translation. Strategies such as supplements, preface, footnote, hijacking (to rewrite according to feminist translation theory) can be used to show translators’ subjectivity and gender consciousness, which are two main aspects of the theory.
