Wandering the Edge

Talking Lesia Ukrainka with Dr. Sasha Dovzhyk


Listen Later

An interview with Dr. Sasha Dovzhyk about one of Ukraine's leading poetic and feminist voices - Lesia Ukrainka. Ukrainka, which was her pen name, began writing poetry at a young age, was first published at 8, was anti-Tsarist, passionately Ukrainian and fiercely feminist. In this discussion we talk about how her illness influenced her writing, what she saw of herself and how she saw her fellow females and fellow Ukrainians. Dr. Sasha is a prolific writer, activist and well - a happy wanderer who now splits her time between the UK and Ukraine. One of her many projects included helping to develop "Cassandra" - a play by Lesia Ukrainka, translated into English and performed in the UK. It was one of the many projects of the Ukrainian Institute London, and primarily under the leadership of Maria Montague.
