Wikipedia description:

Rita Kogan (Hebrew: ריטה קוגן, Russian: Рита Коган) is a Hebrew author, poet, essayist and translator based in Tel Aviv. Born in Leningrad, she immigrated to Israel as a part of the 1990s post-Soviet aliyah, when she was 14 years old. After being trained as an engineer, Kogan eventually turned to poetry. Kogan's poetry explores the challenges that Russian-speaking women encounter in their daily life in Israel, including ethnic discrimination, sexual abuse, and the difficulty of expressing sexuality in a patriarchal society. In addition to the underside of Russian immigrant life, Kogan's verse also reveals the joie-de-vivre of a free Israeli literary spirit, seeking nothing but her loves and literary attachments.
