OUR LIFE Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America O C T O B E R 1983 CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF UKRAINIAN WOMEN’S MOVEMENT The first Ukrainian women’s organization, "The Ukrainian Women’s Association” founded in 1884 in Stanislaviv headed by Natalia Kobrynska, is considered to be the beginning of the Ukrainian women’s move ment. Ukrainian National Women’s League of America is planning to commemorate the centennial of the women’s movement as follows: 1. It plans to reprint “Pershyj Vinok” (The First Wreath) which was first published in 1887 in Lviv and edited by Natalia Kobrynska and Olena Pchilka. UNWLA obtained a copy of the first edition from the Library of the Ukrainian Museum in Stamford for the re printing. Dr. Laryssa Onyshkevych has written the preface emphasizing the importance of “Pershyj Vinok” and its authors. Mrs. Ksenia Antypiw, a member of UNWLA Branch 57, has made a substantial donation to help defray the cost of reprinting. The importance of this undertaking by UNWLA can be vouched by the fact that even in Ukraine this almanac is a rarity. The only copy known to exist is located in AN URSR W. Stefanyk Library,according to an article by Roman Horak about Mychajlynu Rosh- kevych “The Lost Talent” which appeared in “Zovten” No. 5, Lviv, 1983. 2. A set of slides with appropriate text about the Ukrainian Women’s Movement. 3. A special issue of “OUR LIFE” (April 1984) will be dedicated to the Ukrainian Women’s Movement. 4. An exhibit of rare books by Ukrainian women of the pre-World War II era, documents and photographs will be held during the XX UNWLA Convention in May of 1984. We are now asking you, The Ukrainian community and especially the Ukrainian women, to help us collect the various materials needed in order that the above three projects be successful. We especially need as sistance with the collection of: (a) Old publications of women’s organizations: books, brochures, posters and similar items. (b) photographs and biographies of women active in community work beginning with the 1880s including diaries, memoirs, letters. (c) information about work done by women’s groups during World War II. We hope that the Ukrainian community will help us in our endeavor to preserve the memory and the achievements of these women in the free world. We would be grateful for any donations to our archives of the Ukrainian Women’s Movement. We will also make copies of the original material and return it to the donors, if they so desire.
