“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ТРАВЕНЬ 2014 WWW.UNWLA.ORG 19 жінок на найближчі три роки. Розвиток жіно- чого бізнесу, більш активне залучення жінок до процесів прийняття рішень, боротьба з на- сильством щодо жінок, допомога сім’ям, які змушені були переселятись з Криму в інші реґіони країни, міжреґіональні обміни, розви- ток молодіжного лідерства є ключовими нап- рямками цієї стратегії. Про тих, завдяки кому наші мрії і мрії бага- тьох жінок в Україні стають реальністю З перших днів свого існування Фонд об’єднав навколо себе активних, ініціативних ітворчих жінок. Це наші спів-засновниці; жін- ки з різних куточків світу, які підтримують нас; персонал фонду; наші ґрантери і партне- ри. І це, безумовно, правління Фонду – експер- ти і фахівці найвищого рівня, які точно зна- ють, що потрібно жіноцтву України і як цього досягти. Одне ім’я Марти Коломиєць – члена правління УЖФ – говорить само за себе. Зав- дяки таким жінкам, як Марта ми впевнено рухаємось вперед і точно знаємо, що мрії українських жінок мають здійснитись, а Фонд їм у цьому допомагатиме. A NOTE ABOUT YEVHENIYA YAROSHYNSKA The name of Yevheniya Yaroshynska (1868-1904) is not often remembered today. Nonetheless, in the late 19th and early 20th century, she was one of the most active women writers in Western Ukraine—a frequent contributor to the almanac edited by Nataliya Kobrynska and a passionate participant in the Ukrainian women’s movement of her time. Deprived of an opportunity to receive a higher education herself, Yaroshynska was largely self-taught and devoted much of her life to educating Ukrainian peasant women, offering them literacy classes as well as workshops in practical skills such as weaving. Her intimate knowledge of these women’s struggles and her deep commitment to the betterment of their lot are evident in Yaroshynska’s writings, which include a number of short stories and sketches about Ukrainian peasant life. One such work is Yaroshynska’s “miniature” from 1902 entitled “The Ad- dressee Is Deceased,” which we offer to our readers in the English translation by Roma Franko. - Olesia Wallo Yevheniya Yaroshynska The Addressee Is Deceased A Miniature An old woman who was not a beggar , but on whom the signs of poverty were clearly visible, approached a wicket in the post office and timidly asked the clerk if there was anything for her . "Nothing this time either ," the clerk replied. "It can 't be!" the old woman's voice trembled. "There has to be something for me! " The clerk was obviously a kind man for, instead of shouting at the old woman , as is usually the case, he looked in the drawer once again and then stated quietly: "Really , there 's nothing. " The old woman shook her head in disbelief and stepped aside . Her wrinkled face reflected the an- guish of her soul , and so the clerk, out of pity , re- peated his assurance once more. He then turned his attention to the other people who were waiting. When everyone else left, the old woman once again stepped up to the wicket . "Don't be annoyed with me, sir... " "But you see, my dear woman , I can't do any- thing for you, except, perhaps, take another look . And I've done that twice already." "Yes, I know. Thank you for everything. But what can it possibly mean that there 's no letter? I wrote to my daughter well o ver a month ago . She usually replies immediately ... and sends me money as well . . ." After a moment, she added : "Maybe she 's left the place where she was working? " "Then they would have forwarded the letter to
