The translation here presented of the short story "Pay Day" by the Kenyan writer Grace Ogot, who died in 2015, aims at being the first contact in Portuguese with the production of the aforementioned author. The short story "Pay Day" is the first in a collection of 9 under the title The other woman and other stories (1996), in which the author explores themes of social, cultural and even spiritual relevance, especially for the Luo community in Kenya. Her understanding of these aspects, as well as the description of social and cultural conflicts in that society, is vivid and very skillful. The reader is expected to access these aspects through the proposed translation.
