Life

Natalija Kobrynska was born in the village of Beleluja in what is now Snjatyn Raion in the Ukrainian Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast . Since no higher education was provided for girls in her youth, Natalija received lessons at home and learned German, French, Polish and Russian from her father. She was also able to read works from world literature that her brothers brought back from school for her.

In 1871 she married Theofil Kobrynsky, who died a few years later, after which she moved back to her parents in Bolechiv. She traveled to Vienna with her father, Iwan Osarkewytsch ( Jan Ozarkiewicz ; 1826–1903), a priest of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church who was a member of the Austrian House of Representatives from the 5th to the 7th legislative period ( 1873-1891 ) , where she met Mychajlo Drahomanow , Olena Ptschilka's brother . This encouraged them to work for equality for Ukrainian women.

In 1884 she founded the Society of Ruthenian Women in Stanislau . Together with Olena Ptschilka, the mother of Lesja Ukrajinka and sister of Mychajlo Drahomanow, she published the first feminist almanac Pershyi vinok in 1887 . In 1893 she published a second almanac, Nasha dolia ( Our fate , further editions followed in 1895 and 1896) and in 1907 she published a third almanac, Zhinocha dolia (The fate of women ). The short stories she wrote were published in several collections and dealt with women, social issues and psychological issues, popular belief and the First World War . In 1967 P. Babiak published a bibliography of her works. She lived in Bolechiw for over 30 years, where she died of typhus in 1920 at the age of 64.
