Abstract
Model Women: The Nourishing Words of Almudena Grandes
Translated into English
by Ashlyn M. Winkler

Although Spanish writer Alumdena Grandes' novels have been translated into twenty-one
languages in the last two decades, her short stories have unfortunately been left relatively
inaccessible for an English-speaking audience. This project brings the story "Malena, una
vida hervida" as well as the author's Prologue, both from the collection Modelos de
mujer (1996), into American English, therefore giving an entire new group of readers the
chance to explore how Grandes portrays the themes of love, obsession, body image, and
self-empowerment. Accompanying these two texts are a letter, also translated, written to
Grandes by fellow Spaniard and writer Eduardo Mendicutti, as well as a translator's
introduction, which briefly highlights contemporary translation theory to explain the
methodology used to approach the texts and confront the challenges that arose in the
process of translation.
