Tsarivna by Olha Kobylianska is a psychological and feminist novel written in diary form. It follows Natalka Verkhovych — a young woman striving for self-realization, education, and literary voice in a patriarchal society that offers few paths for a woman’s independence. Through her inner monologues, social observations, and life decisions, Natalka resists pressures of marriage of convenience, societal expectations, and the conflict between personal freedom and emotional bonds. The novel blends introspection, social critique, and poetic sensitivity. This deluxe 560-page edition is part of the Gift Classic series from Vikhola.
