peer agreement (net): +1How Women Vote: Are they finding their voice? Explanation: The German phrase is used to great rhetorical effect here. Of course, you can use short succinct phrases to similar effect in English, too. But if you have to mirror it on a German source text, that makes the job much harder to pull off. So in this case you may have no choice but to rewrite that for your English version. My suggestion covers the theme of women's voices needing to be heard (Frauenstimmen) while giving the 'Stimmen Frauen?' question a slightly sharper edge. |
