Olha Yulianivna Kobylianska was a ukrainian modernist writer and feminist.
Born: 27 November 1863 Gura Humorului, Bukovina, Austro-Hungary - 21 March
Death: 1942 Chernivtsi, Cernivtsi County, Romania.

Her writings were influenced by George Sand and Friedrich Nietzsche. Kobylianska was interested in the Ukrainian peasantry, and often wrote about the lives of these people. She depicted the struggle between good and evil and the mystical force of nature, predestination, magic, and the irrational in many of her stories of peasant life. Her works are known for their impressionistic, lyrical descriptions of nature and subtle psychological portrayals.

Kobylianska's works have been published in many editions and selections. In 1944, a literary memorial museum dedicated to her was opened in Chernivtsi, in the building in which she lived from 1938-1942.
