August is women in translation month and all month long we have been celebrating, and why not do another listicle episode, this time talking about 5 of our favorite books in translation written by women, as well as 5 books written by women in translation that we're looking forward to reading.

*note: during the discussion of Gitta Sereny's book Into That Darkness I say that Franz Stangl was part of the Nuremberg Trials. This is incorrect. The Nuremberg Trials were held immediately after World War 2 in 1945-1946. An arrest for Stangl wasn't issued until 1961, and was finally arrested in 1967.

Here are the books discussed in this week's episode:
