#BritishMuseum settles case with @yilinwriter after using her work #translating Chinese feminist #poet #QiuJin, then removing it, all w/o permission, credit, or payment.

“The worst possible outcome. The public are now not only being denied the chance to see my translations, and to know who wrote them, but also the chance to read Qiu Jin’s words too ... two female writers of colour have both had their work erased. We are not disposable.”
