Hi, I am translating a political text about prison strikes and the word "wimming" is used to describe some of them. The target language is Spanish and I don't know how to translate it.
The text is written in American English.
This is part of the sentence I want to translate:
"...lack of interaction with those in wimmin's prisons."
The text is written in American English.

But my interpretation would be that the O'Brien uses wimming to show that the speaker is uneducated and is mispronouncing women.

: If you are going to make unfounded assumptions about the education of the speaker, you should offer a translation that reflects that same level of (un)education.
