Slava Ukraini!
Women’s Resistance under Russia’s War
In this critically acclaimed reportage book, award-winning journalist Lisa Bjurwald paints a vivid portrait of the experiences of Ukrainian women during the brutal war that will mark Europe and the world for years to come.
Through interviews, reportage and literary storytelling, Lisa Bjurwald portrays life in Ukraine during the Russian invasion — as seen through the eyes of women: soldiers, mothers, doctors, activists, refugees.
Slava Ukraini challenges the traditional male narrative of war. It documents the female experience of violence, survival, and resistance, while revealing Ukraine’s cultural and moral strength in Europe’s darkest hour.
