A pioneering Ukrainian modernist writer; sister of Yuliian Kobyliansky. A self-educated and well-read woman, her first novellen were written in German, beginning in 1880. From 1891 she lived in Chernivtsi. 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

“Ми знаємо, напр., дуже добре, що мужчини приписують нам, жінкам, прикмети, яких ми зовсім не маємо в тій самій мірі, що й вони. Приписують їх нам тому, щоб, оженившися з нами, мали за час вигоду. Чого ж запевняють неустанно, що покора, скромність, податливість, лагідність, м'якість, боязнь — жінці до лиця, коли переконують нас трохи не щогодини, що їм подобається якраз противне, а то — дух, дотеп, кокетерія, живість, гордість і т.д.”
