About the Author
A writer and social activist, Vera Lysenko (1910—1975) was born and raised in a multi-ethnic working-class neighborhood in Winnipeg. She was one of the first Ukrainian-Canadian women to complete a university degree, going on to work as a teacher, journalist, social historian, playwright, poet, and translator. Her first book, Men in Sheepskin Coats: A Study of Assimilation, was the first English-language history of Ukrainians in Canada written by a Ukrainian-Canadian. She wrote two books of fiction, Yellow Boots and Westerly Wild, along with numerous articles, essays, and short stories.
