About this list
biblibio, 100 Books
The 100 Best Books by Women in Translation is a crowdsourced list created through nominations and votes from readers around the world over a nearly two-month period. Focused on works originally written in languages other than English, it celebrates books by women, trans, and nonbinary authors that have resonated deeply with readers. While not claiming to be definitive, the list reflects global reading passions and highlights both acclaimed titles and hidden gems that deserve more attention. It is a tribute to the diversity, richness, and emotional power of women’s voices in translation.
