Lesya Ukrainka wrote through chronic pain that should have silenced her - tuberculosis from childhood - and became the sharpest voice in Ukrainian letters, a poet and playwright who matched epic myth to modern resistance. Her pen name was a claim: Ukraine itself.

About this person

Born Larysa Kosach in 1871, she took the name Ukrainka and began publishing poems that refused the sentimental fashion of the time. On the Wings of Songs arrived in 1893, the same year as her epic Ancient Fairy Tale; Thoughts and Dreams and Echos followed by 1902. She turned to drama and found her form: Cassandra, written between 1903 and 1907, and In the Catacombs in 1905 used Greek and early Christian settings to speak about occupied nations. Forest Song came in 1911, a folk-drama that became her most performed work. She was also organizing - pushing for civil rights, women's rights, political change. She died in 1913 at forty-two, with Princess published that year.
