This was done on October 1, 1906, when Finland was still an autonomous Russian duchy. It was done parily from real conviction. but partly also as a liberal move in the long struggle against Russian imperial domination. which Finland hated. The Finnish nationalist movement and the Fin nish woman’s movement grew up te gether during the last century and still closely related. There is. however. very strident feminism which verges on sex war. “By fulfilling our duties the winning of our rights’ is the motto of Finnish feminists. and their aim is described as “an effort to har monize relations heiween the two great ereative forces, man and woman.’ What they have practicall: ing to women Suffrage.
