Resumen:	A remarkable gender gap exists in literary translation, as a result of the well documented tendency across time to translate fewer women writers than men writers. Given the role of translation as an activity of intercultural mediation and cross-border connectivity, this gender gap has far-reaching consequences not only for the silenced writers and their literatures, but also globally for society as a whole: it may prevent readers from accessing great foreign literature authored by women. Nevertheless, not all women writers are experiencing this gender gap in the same way, with some authors having their work translated into other languages and getting recognition abroad more easily than others. Among the obstacles hampering their cross-border dissemination, one factor stands out: writing literature in a minoritised language. This is precisely the case for Galician women fiction writers. While Galician women novelists are marginalised in their own literary field, others have achieved considerable success in recent times, often a precondition for their translation. Drawing on this, my aim is to analyse the challenges and opportunities Galician-language women fiction writers may be presented with when trying to get recognition and enter new literary markets via translation, both in multilingual Spain and in the Anglosphere. All in all, my chapter seeks to shed light on issues around gender, language, ethnicity and translation affecting contemporary Galician-language novelists, which also have implications for global audiences worldwide.
