Her travels and acquaintance with Lesia Ukrainka, Nataliia Kobrynska, Osyp Makovei, Ivan Franko, Vasyl Stefanyk, and Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky changed her cultural and political outlook, and she became involved in the Ukrainian women's movement in Bukovyna and began writing in Ukrainian. Many of her works—including the novels Liudyna (A Person, 1891) and Tsarivna (The Princess, 1895)—have as their protagonists cultured, emancipated women oppressed in a philistine, provincial society; semiautobiographical elements and the influence of the writ ...more

Quotes by Olha Kobylianska (?)

“A storm ravaged among the spruces and shook them, and it made them even stronger. The prouder did they raise their tops the next morning and bathe them in the golden sunrays. They deserved to stretch up to the clouds and be proud.”
― Olha Kobylianska, Nature

“- За нічим уже мені не жаль, Касандро, за нічим. Я вже давно все забула. Забула, що була молода, що йшло через серце, і багато дечого такого, що велося в житті, забула. Лиш одно плаче в мені, жінко, і того я не можу втихомирити в собі - се те, Касандро, що по смерті мого тата мама… жалувала мені купити чорну жадібну спідницю й чорну хустину на голову…
І опускає нараз із рук шитво, закриває лице спрацьованими долонями і гірко ридає.
- Коли де побачу похорон і чорні речі, і згадаю, що його тоді вже не застала більше живим, і навіть не могла по нім і чорне дрантя на себе убрати, тоді…”
― Olha Kobylianska, Вовчиха
