One of the most influential voices in the interwar period of the Galician women's movement leadership, she published articles in various periodicals. As a member of the Polish Sejm between 1928 and 1935, she brought issues of suppression by government authorities to the world stage, including the Polish regime's efforts to repress the culture of minority Ukrainians and the Soviet regime's denial of starvation in Ukraine during the famine of 1932-1933. With the Soviet and Nazi occupations of Ukraine, Rudnytska fled the country and remained an exile for the remainder of her days, publishing books and articles as she moved throughout Europe and the United States. Early lifeMilena Rudnytska was born on 15 July 1892 in Zboriv, Galicia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Olga (née Ida Spiegel) and Ivan Rudnytsky.{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=470}}{{sfn|Rudnytsky|1987|p=xvi}} The third child and only daughter in the family of intellectuals. Rudnytska's father descended from the Ukrainian gentry{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=470}} and after finishing a law degree at Lviv University, worked as a notary in western Ukraine.{{sfn|Онишко|2012}} Her mother, was from a Galician Jewish family of merchants. Their union had been opposed by both of their families and the couple delayed marrying for almost a decade, because one could not marry before age twenty-four without parental consent. When Ida left home, converted to Christianity and changed her name to Olga,{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=470}}{{sfn|Чорновол|2007}} the two finally married and subsequently had five children: {{ill|Myhailo Rudnytsky|lt=Myhailo|uk|Рудницький Михайло Іванович}} (1889–1975), a philologist; Volodymyr (1891–1975), a lawyer; Milena; {{ill|Ivan Kedrin-Rudnitsky|lt=Ivan|uk|Кедрин Іван}} (1896–1995) a publicist and essayist; and Antin (1902–1975) composer and conductor of the Kiev opera.{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=470}}{{sfn|Rudnytsky|1987|p=xvi}} Rudnytska's family spoke Polish{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=470}} at home and her mother never gained a proficiency with Ukrainian, though she raised her children as Ukraininan nationals.{{sfn|Rudnytsky|1987|p=xvi}} Close to her father, Rudnytska was profoundly affected by his death in 1906,{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=471}} which precipitated the family move to Lviv. She undertook her primary lessons at home, but then attended the Classical Gymnasium of Lviv and then in 1910 entered Lviv University to study philosophy, later graduating with a teaching degree in philosophy and mathematics.{{sfn|Онишко|2012}} During World War I the family lived in Vienna,{{sfn|Онишко|2012}} where Rudnytska studied at the University of Vienna until 1917 receiving a degree in pedagogy and though she began work on a doctoral program, she did not complete it.{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=471}} CareerRudnytska began working as a journalist on the biweekly editorial Наша Мета (Our goal) in 1918.{{sfn|Чорновол|2007}} The following year, she married {{ill|Pavlo Lysiak|uk|Лисяк Павло}} a lawyer politician who had also studied at Lviv and was living in Austria.{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=471}}{{sfn|Сніцаpчук|2016}} By the end of the year, the couple had their only child, {{ill|Ivan Lysiak Rudnytsky|lt=Ivan|uk|Лисяк-Рудницький Іван Павлович}} and their home quickly became a gathering place for leaders of the Ukrainian intellectual community living in Vienna.{{sfn|Rudnytsky|1987|p=xvi}} Back home in Galicia the Polish–Ukrainian War had resulted in a territorial transfer to the Polish state and adoption of policies to suppress minority populations. Though Rudnytska supported the Ukrainian national movement, she felt that women had been assigned inferior roles. She began to focus her attention on organizing women and involving them in raising the civic consciousness of a Ukrainian Nation. Returning to Lviv in 1920,{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=471}} Rudnytska and her husband soon separated. Her son, raised among her family, subsequently adopted her surname as his own.{{sfn|Rudnytsky|1987|p=xvi}} Rudnytska became one of the leading activists of the Ukrainian Women's Union ({{lang-uk|Союз українок}}), which she helped found in 1920 and along with other members of the leadership, including {{ill|Olena Fedak Sheparovych|uk|Федак-Шепарович Олена}}, Iryna Sichynska, {{ill|Olga Tsipanovska|uk|Ціпановська Ольга}} and others, organized women's journals, conferences, and cooperatives.{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=472}} Around the same time, in 1921 she began working in the Teacher's Seminary and later worked at the Higher Pedagogical Institute, both in Lviv, but in 1928, she stopped teaching and turned her focus entirely to social and political issues.{{sfn|Онишко|2012}}{{sfn|Чорновол|2007}}{{sfn|Гавришко|2010}} Having joined the Ukrainian National Democratic Alliance, Rudnytska was elected to serve in the Polish Sejm in 1928 as a party representative, serving through 1935.{{sfn|Гавришко|2010}} That same year, she was elected as president of the Woman's Union and served in that capacity until 1939.{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=472}} Until 1939, she continued her journalistic endeavors as well publishing with several feminist journals like, Woman ({{lang-uk|жінка}}), Woman-citizen ({{lang-uk|Громадянина}}), Ukrainian Woman ({{lang-uk|Українка}}) and edited the woman's page of the Ukrainian daily newspaper Action ({{lang-uk|газета дію}}).{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=472}}{{sfn|Чорновол|2007}} In Parliament, Rudnytska was a staunch advocate for Ukraine and criticized the Polish authorities for suppressing Ukrainian culture including their schools and religious institutions. Serving on committees for education and foreign affairs, she gave many speeches and was known as a charismatic orator. In 1931, she was one of three delegates from Ukraine to present the case against the Polish officials to the League of Nations, calling the suppression a "pacification campaign" to silence the Ukrainian minority population. She was also invited to speak on the issue at the British House Of Commons.{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=473}} During the 1932-1933 famine she was elected vice chair of the Public Rescue Committee, and organized meetings including politicians, scientists, and educators to address the issue and provide famine relief. Through her international ties with women's organizations, Rudnytska was selected to seek international aid support and bring the situation to the attention of the League of Nations.{{sfn|Онишко|2012}} On 29 September 1933, in Geneva 14 countries met and Rudnytska along with the other members of the Ukrainian delegation presented their findings about the famine and the need for international assistance. After several hours, the League decision was that the famine was an internal problem of the USSR, which was not a member of the League and therefore no help would be forthcoming. The delegation then turned toward the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) with a plea for help. ICRC officials contacted Soviet officials to gain approval for the Red Cross to organize international aid for Ukraine, but the head of the Soviet Red Crescent Society, Avel Yenukidze denied that there was any famine in Ukraine. Rudnytska spoke at another international conference held in Vienna in December 1933 urging that the international community pressure the Stalinist regime to admit there was a crisis and allow aid. Denial continued and information about the nature and scope of the famine was suppressed. In 1958, Rudnytska's book, Боротьба за правду про Великий Голод (Fighting for the truth about the Great Famine) took the stance that the famine was a result of organized pressure by the Kremlin to "fracture Ukrainian peasants using collectivization to curb the rebellious Ukrainian people".{{sfn|Онишко|2012}} In the interwar period, Rudnytska was one of the strongest voices in the Ukrainian women's movement. When Hitler came to power in 1933, she evaluated the changes which almost immediately were made restricting women's lives. Laws passed by the Third Reich barred women from employment in the civil service, enacted quotas for the number of women who had access to higher education, refused women admittance to the legal profession, among other changes. In response to these actions, Rudnytska wrote a satirical article which appeared in the magazine Women's Voice characterizing the regime's view of women as monsters, who had no purpose other than to cook, clean and bear children. At a time when Ukrainian women had developed a premise that the ideal woman was one committed to political awareness and social enterprise, who made a conscious choice when or if motherhood should occur, the German view caused serious reservations and attempts to organize motherhood schools in German-occupied territories were resisted.{{sfn|Гавришко|2010}} Rudnytska helped organize the First Ukrainian Women's Congress in 1934 which was held in Stanyslaviv and then in 1937 was elected as president of the World Union of Ukrainian Women.{{sfn|Encyclopedia of Ukraine|1993}} During the late 1930s, the Polish government closely watched members of the Women's Union, arresting some of the leadership and trying to ban the organization entirely.{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=473}} In 1939, during the Soviet invasion of Poland, the regime annexed Galicia forcing national-oriented activists to flee.{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=474}} Fearful of repressions by the Soviet regime Rudnytska moved to Nazi-occupied Kraków. Later, in 1940, she moved on to Berlin, where her son was finishing his studied, begun already in Lviv.{{sfn|Himka|2014}} In 1943, she arrived in Prague, where she published her book, Zakhidna Ukraina pid bolshevykamy (Western Ukraine under the Bolsheviks) in 1944. Continuing to write in exile, she moved to Berlin{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=474}} and then directed the Ukrainian Relief Committee in Geneva between 1945 and 1950.{{sfn|Encyclopedia of Ukraine|1993}} In 1950 moved to New York City, where she remained for eight years, before returning to Europe,{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=474}} first moving to Rome and finally settling in Munich. Some of her most known publications include: "Ukraïns’ka diisnist’ i zavdannia zhinochoho rukhu (The Ukrainian Reality and the Tasks of the Women's Movement, 1934), Don Bosko: Liudyna, pedahoh, sviatyi (Don Bosco: Man, Pedagogue, and Saint, 1963), and Nevydymi styhmaty (The Invisible Stigmata, 1971)".{{sfn|Encyclopedia of Ukraine|1993}} Death and legacyRudnytska died on 29 March 1976 in Munich. Her remains were reburied in Lviv in 1993{{sfn|Zhurzhenko|2006|p=474}} in the Lychakiv Cemetery, beside other family members.{{sfn|Чорновол|2007}} In 1994, Irene Martyniuk published a book, Milena Rudnytska and Ukrainian Feminism: The Art of the Possible, evaluating Rudnytska's role in the women's movement in Ukraine.{{sfn|Martyniuk|1994}} In 1998, Мілена Рудницька.
