Frau und Nation

The year 2006 marked the centenary of the Finnish parliamentary reform, in which the Finnish women as the first in Europe were acknowledged as citizens with full political rights. In this volume, researchers of history, linguistics and literature explore the diverse connections between gender roles and nation building, ethnicity, language, culture and identity in Northern, Eastern and Central Europe.
