The event is dedicated to important female figures in Ukrainian history who, despite all the difficulties, have become symbols of strength, courage, and loyalty to national ideals.
Today, when Ukraine is once again fighting for its independence and future, it is important to talk about those who have contributed to the preservation of Ukrainian national identity.
The heroines of the lecture “Leaders of freedom: 5 stories of the resilience of women who shaped Ukraine in the 20th century” are inspiring examples of resilience that reveal the true power of women and their ability to change the course of history, even when circumstances seem insurmountable.
The lecture will introduce the biographies of prominent Ukrainian women:
