My Women

My Women

Author(s): Yuliia Iliukha, Hanna Leliv (Translator)

Location(s): Ukraine

Genre(s): In Translation, Short Stories

Era(s): Contemporary

Yuliia Iliukha’s My Women, translated from Ukrainian by Hanna Leliv, is an urgent and poignant story collection of women confronted by the countless brutalities of war. It locates the voices and devastating experiences of those who have been silenced, those who have lost loved ones, those who have fought and persevered, and those who have broken down. Through poetic repetition, the nameless protagonists, “My Women,” bring succinct and emotionally charged stories that evoke life during war in Ukraine with an intensity that is at times excruciatingly difficult yet deeply moving.
