Oksana Petrivna Lutsyshyna[a] (née Kishko;[2] born 10 October 1974)[3] is a Ukrainian poet, professor and writer who is a recipient of the Shevchenko National Prize, and member of PEN Ukraine.

Her master's thesis, which was a comparison of Oksana Zabuzhko's and Assia Djebar's books written in French and Algerian, was successfully defended.

At the University of Georgia in 2014,[6] she presented her PhD thesis defense on The Great Phantasmagoric Season: Bruno Schulz's Prose in Light of Walter Benjamin's Theories.

[6][8] Having studied and taught courses on various national traditions (Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, and French), critical theory, and social science, Lutsyshyna has a broad background in literature.

[11] Her original poems and translations are included inside the Words for War collection, an anthology of English-language Ukrainian poetry that responds to the continuing conflict in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

She perceives the essence of feminism as the act of exposing patriarchal ideology, which she believes to dehumanize individuals, particularly women, while asserting itself as the norm.

In response to the common inquiry about the nature of feminism, she describes it as a radical assertion that women possess equal status to men.
