This practice-based project will reinstate the anti-Francoist voice of Maria Teresa León (1903-1988),whose work remains inaccessible in English translation to British readers despite critical acclaim in theUK (see Jones 2020, The Guardian). It will contribute to filling the gaps left in the history of womenauthors during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and Franco's dictatorship (1939-1975) from aTransnational Feminist Translation Studies perspective (Castro and Spoturno 2020; Flotow and Kamal2020). I will translate León's 429-page memoir "Memoria de la melancolia" (1970), described as one ofthe key testimonies from this period (Balló, 2021), and produce a coexisting critical commentary toaddress the overarching research question of which feminist translation strategies ( Flotow, 2019;Massardier-Kenney, 1997) are most fit for the purposes of recovering Spanish lost anti-Francoist women'svoices and presenting the historical context to a new target audience. This project responds to a feministinterest in women's experiences of oppression, dictatorship and exile transcending national and classboundaries (Mendoza, 2002) which, due to its transnational nature, requires translation (Castro andErgun, 2017).This thesis will explore existing translation strategies (see Flotow, 2019:232-36) adopted to "make thefeminine visible" (Massardier-Kenney, 1997:58), such as the use of prefaces to preserve difference whilebringing the source context closer to the reader. Producing this translation within a funded academiccontext is an innovative feminist strategy that will allow me to focus solely on the recovery of a feministauthor who has been excluded from the canon, without being constrained by the limitations ofcommercial literary translation. This project will contribute to the discipline by developing tools which willenrich the ongoing debate regarding the application of context specific feminist translation strategies.My project will overcome the lack of dialogue between the practice and theory of translation(Chesterman and Wagner, 2014) by developing existing theories through my own translation practicewhich will produce an original contribution to the current body of knowledge. It will also improve UKreaders' understanding of women's experiences during the Spanish Civil War and in exile during Franco'sdictatorship by making León's memoir accessible to English-speakers which will result in increasedscholarly interest in León's work.

这个基于实践的项目将恢复玛丽亚·特蕾莎·莱昂（Maria Teresa León，1903-1988）的反佛朗哥主义声音，尽管她的作品在英国广受好评，但英国读者仍无法理解其作品的英文翻译（参见 Jones 2020，《卫报》）。它将有助于从跨国女权主义翻译研究的角度填补西班牙内战（1936-1939）和佛朗哥独裁统治（1939-1975）期间女性作家历史上留下的空白（Castro and Spoturno 2020；Flotow and Kamal2020）。我将翻译莱昂的 429 页回忆录《Memoria de la melancolia》（1970 年），该书被描述为这一时期的关键证词之一（Balló，2021 年），并撰写一份并存的批判性评论，以解决哪些女权主义翻译策略最适合这一总体研究问题（Flotow，2019 年；Massardier-Kenney，1997 年）找回失去的西班牙语 反弗朗哥主义女性的声音并向新的目标受众展示历史背景。该项目回应了女权主义对女性超越国家和阶级界限的压迫、独裁和流放经历的兴趣（Mendoza，2002），由于其跨国性质，需要翻译（Castro和Ergun，2017）。本论文将探讨现有的翻译策略（见Flotow，2019：232-36），为“让女性可见”而采用 （Massardier-Kenney，1997：58），例如使用序言来保留差异，同时使源上下文更接近读者。在受资助的学术背景下完成此翻译是一种创新的女权主义策略，它将使我能够专注于恢复被排除在经典之外的女权主义作家，而不受商业文学翻译的限制。该项目将通过开发工具来丰富该学科的学科，这些工具将丰富有关特定语境的女权主义翻译策略的应用的持续辩论。我的项目将通过我自己的翻译实践发展现有理论，克服翻译实践和理论之间缺乏对话的问题（切斯特曼和瓦格纳，2014），这将为当前的知识体系做出原创贡献。它还将提高英国读者对西班牙内战期间以及佛朗哥独裁统治期间流亡妇女经历的了解，让英语国家的人能够阅读莱昂的回忆录，从而增加学术界对莱昂作品的兴趣。
