Description
This is a colourization I did of Ukrainian author Lesya Ukrainka. She was born Larysa Petrivna Kosach in 1871 to Olena and Petro Kosach. Her mother was also a author of children's poems and short stories. When Lesya was born the Ukraine was part of the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Ukrainian language was discouraged. However her family was very proud of the Ukrainian language and taught their children in Ukrainian. Her aunt was exiled from the Russian Empire because she partook in anti-Tsarist activities. Lesya contracted tuberculosis at age 13 and suffered complication the rest of her life because of it. She married Klyment Vasilyovich Kvitka in 1907. A few years later she passed away.

I also used the Wikipedia article about her to write my summary about her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesya_Uk…
