Fátima Rodríguez (Pontedeume, Galicia, 15 May 1961) is a Spanish Galician writer, and a translator in Galician and Spanish languages. She is also a professor at the University of Western Brittany in Brest, France.

## Biography

Rodríguez studied Romance languages at the University of Santiago de Compostela. In France, after completing a Doctorate in Comparative literature, she settled in Toulouse between 1983 and 2008. Between 1991 and 1993, she continued her studies with a Master's degree in translation studies at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. With travels through Romania and Italy, she completed her training as a Romanist and deepened her knowledge of the contemporary literature of these areas.

During her residence in Toulouse, she collaborated with the Casa de Galicia in the region to promote the dissemination of Galician culture. As a researcher, she has studied female writers from the Caribbean. She regularly publishes articles on languages and cultures in contact with Spanish-speaking countries and Latin America. Since 2008, she lives in Brest and works at the University of Western Brittany. The origin of the writer, the Galician culture and her language constitute a central theme of Rodríguez's poetry. From time to time, this reference becomes political, as in the poem "Nos outros" (With the others), included in the book EXIL - témoignages sur la Guerre d'Espagne, les camps et la résistance au franquisme. This theme also expresses a regret.

In the academic sphere, Rodríguez publishes in French, Spanish, and Galician. She is a member of Red Francesa de Estudios Gallegos and of the Asociación Caribeña de Estudios del Caribe.
