This article explores the role of translation in the recent global development of transnational feminism. It specifically examines the challenges faced in transnational communication among feminist organizations and individuals. Additionally, it examines the role of the Anglo-American world in nurturing feminist ideas, while also introducing and promoting divisive "gender identity politics." The argument posits that although the academic and political work produced in English over the past fifty years has been strong and useful, it has also had negative implications. The argument is therefore to focus on generating as much transnational feminist translation and translation studies as possible in order to learn about and validate what exists in other cultures, as well as learning what the Anglo-American culture can glean from them.
