This article looks at the role of Ukrainian women in different forms of resistance—from the dissident movement in Soviet times, through volunteering during the Revolution of Dignity and the first stage of the war, to the actions of female refugees after the Russian invasion in 2022. Although they often remained in the shadow of men, women played a key role in organising underground publications, supporting political prisoners and later helping soldiers on the front lines. Their activities focused on traditional female roles—care, organisation, emotional and logistical support—but had a clear political impact, even if it was not always recognised. Female refugees in Poland are also involved in aid work, although they remain mainly in the social sphere rather than in the political sphere. The author emphasises the need to recognise this ‘invisible work’ and to make use of women’s skills in the future, including in politics. She also points out that, in addition to female volunteers, tens of thousands of women are currently serving in the military. All this gives hope for lasting social change and greater gender equality in Ukraine.
