The strength of Women and Early Modern Cultures of Translation lies in Brown's impressive recovery of the forty translators whose dates, works, and source textsare provided in an appendix. She offers detailed discussions of the women's families, education, and cultural environments and provides short analyses of individual works in each of the five thematic chapters. Brown's work is thus fully aligned with current approaches to women's translations, and her recovery of forty German female translators significantly enriches the field. * Micheline White, Spring journal * Women and Early Modern Cultures of Translation is the fruit of serious archival work. * Chantal Wright, Monatshefte *
