In the latest interview for the ProZ.com Women in Translation initiative, I had the pleasure of speaking with an incredible group of women who collaborated on a groundbreaking project: the Spanish translation of Lunes o martes, a collection of short stories by Virginia Woolf. This is the first book in the Clásicos accesibles (accesible classics) collection from Ciempiés, an independent publishing house focused on accessibility and inclusivity.

We all know the industry is going through a difficult phase. In my eyes, this is essentially due to clients, agencies and freelancers all having different views on how the technological advances should be put to good use, and who should benefit from them.

A few days ago, I shared a reflection on LinkedIn (in English) and Instagram (in Spanish) about the increasing resonance of imposter syndrome in professional conversations. I didn’t expect it to trigger so many direct messages from people, both familiar and new, who all shared a common experience: they had dealt with imposter syndrome and felt compelled to share their stories with me.

International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8th, to commemorate Russian women's winning of the vote in 1917, after organizing a four-day strike that forced the Czar to abdicate.
