Sworn virgins are women who take a vow of chastity and wear male clothing in order to live as men in the patriarchal northern Albanian society. Translated to English by Clarissa Botsford, the novel Sworn Virgin by Elvira Dones, explores this cultural practice and has recently been made into a film and new English edition was published in October 2015.

Clarissa will read excerpts from the book, discuss the challenges of translating it, and introduce the Sworn Virgin tradition, while exploring some of the themes inherent in the book such as cultural and sexual disorientation and transitions, gender identity and uncertainty, intercultural misunderstanding, emigration, and language as appropriation of identity.
