Ольга Кобилянська: Заратустра жіночої статі | Український культ

Olga Kobylyanska is a Ukrainian writer of the fin de siècle era from Bukovina. A Nietzschean and feminist, or "emancipator", Kobylyanska in her works presents images of women who were called "Zarathustra of the female sex". A close friend of Lesya Ukrainka, she fought for women's space, independence and the right to be "an end in itself". And thanks to the fight for female subjectivity, she became one of the drivers of the modernization of Ukrainian literature.
