A what appears to be the only issue from an intended series, the booklet was published by the Organization of Ukrainian Emigre Women in Germany. The organization was initially founded at a DP (displaced persons) camp in Munich, but would later spread through other camps in the American and British occupational zones after the end of the Second World War. Their goal was to provide educational and medical help, to boost nationalism and morale, to help organize classes and workshops, and to act as liaisons to their compatriots with the Americans and Brits. The book, highlighting the lives of prominent Ukrainian women, was devoted to Olena Pchilka (1849 - 1930), pseudonym for Olha Petrivna Kosach - publisher, author, ethnographer, and civil activist, and the Staritski-Cherniakhivski sisters - Mariia, Oksana, and Liudmyla - famed authors and actresses.
