This English and Russian volume presents selected works of Liubov Krichevskaya (b. 1800), arguably the first professional woman of letters in Ukraine. At times hopeful, at times despairing, her literature explores themes of women's agency in society, both reflecting on and exploring women's opportunities and limitations and referencing women authors of her time. Including dramas, novellas, lyric poetry, and an epistolary novel, her oeuvre offers critical observations that reflect the philosophy of Sentimentalism.
