August is Women in Translation month, a celebration dedicated to amplifying the voices of women in writing across the globe. This movement began to help address gender imbalance in translated literature and has since then become an annual, global initiative supported by various publishers, libraries and any individuals who want to help highlight voices often underappreciated in literature.In 2014, Meytal Radzinski brought to light statistics showing that only 30% of new translations into English are books by female writers, and many people were not happy with the evident inequality. Therefore, Radzinski’s campaign began, and now every August, readers come together to read and share books by women from all around the world.For the remainder of August, if you consider picking up any book, we urge you to try to pick a translated book by a woman to help show your support for this movement and female writers globally; you might stumble upon your new favourite book!Some Recommendations:Human Acts – Han Kang (Korean): winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2024, the book explores the Gwangju uprising in 1980 and the impact this made on both victims and survivors.Persepolis - Marjane Satrapi (French): an internationally acclaimed graphic novel about a young girl growing up during the Islamic Revolution and how political upheaval has affected her life. It was also released as a movie in 2007.

The Stamford Street Allotment Society is a community-driven organisation based in the heart of Ellesmere Port. Their mission is dedicated to creating a garden space available for people of all backgrounds, races and abilities where they can unite, tending to fresh produce all together. To them, the connection in their diverse community is something that they take pride in, whether experienced or not.Over the last year, they have been collaborating with TCV (The Conservative Volunteers) in an effort to create a wheelchair-accessible garden in which the locals can flourish. Currently, a total of £14,625 has been raised, allowing them to include a range of features such as wheelchair-friendly paths, available vegetable bed foundations and sensory areas (for example, pergolas, ponds and wildflower gardens).Fortunately, the project is close to finishing, but they are calling on green thumbs. Not just gardeners, but skilled builders and both budding and blooming artists to assist them in the creation of this special section for wheelchair users, children and people with disabilities. If you believe you fit the description or just wish to lend a helping hand, then your support will be greatly appreciated!
