The series of events ЇЇ – Her: Dimensions of Ukrainian Womanhood concluded with Ambassadors of Freedom: the Historical Experience of Ukrainian Women in International Politics and Diplomacy, focusing on a page of Ukrainian history that is often overlooked yet fundamental: the crucial role of Ukrainian women in international politics and diplomacy.
On Friday, May 30, Lecture Hall T.10 welcomed Alla Shvets, Deputy Director of the Ivan Franko Institute and a leading figure in the Association for Research in Women’s History, who masterfully illustrated how Ukrainian women have acted as true ambassadors of freedom in the international political and diplomatic arena. Her incisive analysis highlighted the historical contribution of female figures who have shaped and represented Ukraine on the world stage.
Thanks to this series of meetings—made possible by the dedication of Professors Daniele Artoni and Anna Giust from our department and the careful organization of our doctoral students Diana Bota and Khrystyna Yordan—we had the opportunity to gain a closer understanding of the true essence of Ukraine, through the stories and the fundamental role of its women.
