María Reimóndez (Lugo, 1975) is a Galician-language translator, interpreter, writer and activist. She obtained her PhD in Translation and Interpretation and is a renowned feminist translator who actively works to create a critical understanding of how colonial/patriarchal structures can be subverted.
As a writer, Reimóndez has touched upon all genres, although she is mainly known as a novelist. Her large body of work (over 40 published titles) has been recognised with numerous awards in Galicia and she is seen as one of the most important contemporary writers of her generation. Her latest works include Furia (2023), which received the Premio Jules Verne for YA literature in 2023, a novel about boxing and grief, and the science-fiction trilogy Triloxía dos Seres Completos where she explores issues of gender and ecology through the unusual gaze of trees. Her works have been translated into Italian, French, Spanish, Catalan and Tamil. She has lectured in numerous universities all over the world, mainly focusing on topics related to translation, language hegemony, feminist and LGBTQ+ issues, and creative writing.
Reimóndez has a long-standing relationship with feminist organisations and artists in Tamil Nadu and has been visiting South India since 1994.
