XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 12 has been sharply oriented on events in Ukraine, the revival of the Ukrainian Women’s League in Ukraine, and the ongoing work of the UNWLA in the United States. The name Our Life signifies the publication’s role in the mutual sharing of information about the UNWLA’s life, both achievements and challenges. Reports on the activities of the National Board, Regional Councils, and Branches, as well as global women’s movements are featured and the struggle to ensure that the voice of Ukraine is heard, particularly within the United Nations. The magazine remains a cherished connection for many long-time members, especially those who are now inactive, serving as their link to the organization they devotedly served for decades. Readers of Our Life vary in their engagement with the magazine. Bilingual members read our pages extensively, while others focus on either the Ukrainian or English pages. In Ukraine, the magazine serves both as a method to stay informed about and connected with Ukrainian matters, as well as to learn English. Moreover, despite financial challenges, the UNWLA is committed to keeping the subscription affordable and relies on the Press Fund to fill funding gaps. Historically, the idea for a printed publication of the UNWLA emerged in the early 1930s. By 1944, the need for an independent publication led to the launch of Our Life that has been published continuously ever since. The success of the magazine is the result of dedicated editors and contributors who have enriched the content with their talents and vision. The magazine highlights notable Ukrainian women through sections such as “Women’s Portraits of Ukrainian History,” a celebration of figures such as Natalia Kobrynska, Olena Pchilka, and Olha Kobylianska. Our Life serves as a bridge connecting Ukrainian women worldwide, fostering friendship, and encouraging continued activism and cultural preservation. Beginning with the September 2020 issue, a new, more contemporary design was introduced, with greater emphasis on photos and graphic elements, and the magazine began to be printed on higher-quality paper than previously. With each issue, our goal is to fulfill the mission of Our Life – to report on the scope and impact of our organization’s work; to celebrate the achievements of our members and accomplishments of Ukrainian women worldwide, and to share Ukraine’s rich culture and fascinating history – and to do so while representing and engaging all our readers, whether younger or older, born in the United States .or in Ukraine, native Ukrainian-language speakers or not. During the past ten years, Ukraine has experienced significant historical events that have shaped the political, social, and cultural landscape. Our Life magazine has been there for all these major events in Ukraine, such as Euromaidan; russia’s occupation in 2014 of Crimea and beginning of war in eastern Ukraine; the 2019 presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine; the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022); and the escalation of russia’s war against Ukraine in February 2022. These events have significantly influenced Ukraine’s trajectory, highlighting its struggles for sovereignty, democratic governance, and alignment with Western institutions amidst ongoing challenges. In conclusion, Our Life is more than simply a magazine; it is a historical document, a source of cultural pride, and a testament to the resilience and dedication of the UNWLA. The publication continues to promote the unity and spirit of Ukrainians, both in the homeland and the diaspora, making it an invaluable resource for future generations.
