“When Talesia was about to reach its complete destruction, the goddesses Diana, Amaterasu, Gleti and Chasca, each ruling over a different nation, united to triumph over the other gods and to end war. After this, they descended from the sky and gave a spark of their power to a flock of birds that lived in the Veteruda forest. Giving them the possibility of transforming into humans, while endowing them with superhuman abilities, a great responsibility was imposed on them: to protect and fight against all types of threats, even if that meant risking their own lives.”

And we’ve come to Day 31: Pelaheia Lytyvnova!

Pelaheia was born in a small village (likely the town of Tereben) in modern-day Ukraine. Her family was well-off, and her mother had aristocratic origins, but Pelaheia was orphaned young, and spent her childhood at boarding schools. Her eventual husband, Petro Lytyvnova, likewise came from a well-to-do, scholarly family, and Pelaheia devoted herself to the education of their ten children, boys and girls alike.

With her children grown, however, Pelaheia seems to have found herself a bit adrift - but not for long. She threw herself into the cause of women’s education, and in 1872 received a teaching certificate. She opened a school in Kyiv, where poor children could receive the same education as the rich, but was unable to secure long-term funding or support. Undaunted, she continued her activism, supporting women’s rights and assisting the poor.

Pelaheia was also fascinated by Ukrainian folk art, particularly embroidery, and what began as a collection became a scholarly pursuit. She catalogued traditional techniques and patterns, and published a two-volume collection, preserving the artwork for posterity and sharing it with the world; her work eventually saw her elected to multiple scientific societies, a rare achievement for a nineteenth-century woman. She also recorded folktales, and eventually moved to the tiny village of Zemlyanka, where she published articles in academic journals and learned to make some of the art herself; in her last years, still active, she developed a passion for weaving.

One of the best-known forms of folk art in Ukraine is Petrykivka painting, with its distinctive flowery and colorful designs, here depicted in shades of blue and yellow; folk art has increasingly become a symbol of Ukrainian unity and resistance.
