Women Only: 22 Silhouettes of Ukrainian Women Writers

What do you know about Ukrainian women writers?
This book may change the way you see them. Literary scholar Snizhana Zhyhun has brought together the stories of 22 remarkable authors — from Lesya Ukrainka to Oksana Zabuzhko, from those who wrote under pseudonyms to those whose names became symbols of their era. They wrote and acted boldly: founding women’s associations, editing periodicals, speaking out against empires, and fighting for the right of women and the nation to be heard.
This book reveals a vast layer of Ukrainian culture. It is not only about literature, but also about freedom, identity, women’s strength, and resilience. It is also easy to take with you — whether to browse while travelling, read in the park, or open during a break. Here is a history that inspires and proves that Ukrainian women’s literature has always been, and remains, a driving force for change.
