Literatura: Ukrainian modernism and feminism
Date and time:
Thursday 24 June, 2021
18:30 - 20:00
Location:
The prominent Ukrainian female authors – Lesia Ukrainka (1871-1913) and Olha Kobylianska (1863-1942) play a significant role in the development of Ukrainian literary modernism. Their writing is closely intertwined to illuminate a multiplicity of concerns, ranging from gender to race, culture to nature, feminism to nationalism, revealing a deeply autobiographical nature of their works.
