Publisher's Synopsis
Ordinarily Unusual: The Quiet Reinvention of Ukrainian Women is a powerful collection of first-person narratives that explore the resilience, courage, and reinvention of women whose lives were irrevocably altered by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
From displaced professionals to mothers-turned-entrepreneurs, these deeply personal accounts shed light on how ordinary women responded to extraordinary circumstances.
Set against the backdrop of war, this moving book captures the emotional, professional, and psychological transformations of Ukrainian women as they rebuild their lives and identities.
Written in a sharp yet empathetic narrative, Ordinarily Unusual brings together stories of grief, strength, and hope-revealing how reinvention can be both a survival strategy and a quiet revolution.
Whether you're interested in human-centred storytelling, the social impact of war, or the power of female resilience, this book offers a compelling look at modern history through deeply human lenses.
25% of the net proceeds will be donated to UNITED24, the initiative of the President of Ukraine to rebuild the country.
