The Women of Ukraine: Stories of Hope and Courage in a War-torn Country is a collection of powerful true stories from the frontlines of war. Told through the lens of an American photojournalist, this book shines a light on the women who are holding the country together-mothers, widows, medics, teachers, snipers, drone builders, bakers, and amputees who refuse to give up.

These stories are not about statistics or strategy. They are about resilience in grief, love in rubble, and defiance in silence. From the underground bunkers of Lviv to the makeshift hospitals near the front, these women are surviving-and saving-Ukraine.

Written and photographed by Christopher Briscoe over several extended trips into war-torn Ukraine, The Women of Ukraine is a testament to courage, dignity, and the human spirit under fire.
