Abstract

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of the Québécois writer Anne Hébert (1916-2000) to the development of a new translation practice in Canada, the feminist translation, which has as prominent contributors Barbara Godard, Susanne de Lotbinière-Harwood, Luise von Flotow, and Sherry Simon. In this context, it is of significance the conversation between Hébert and Frank Scott about the translation of her poem Le tombeau des rois, by Scott. The recurrent themes in Anne Hébert works that after the 1990ths are read in a feminist perspective are mentioned, namely: conflicting family relationships, anger and violence of the characters, interior imprisonment of the human being, and his desires of liberation, emphasizing the treatment of the female universe. The gender issues involving two translations of the hebertian novel Kamouraska are also discussed.
