A rich and detailed picture, across Britain and many other European countries, of the nature of women's factory work, the problems which arose and how women factory inspectors understood and reacted to the problems.Based on extensive original archival research both in Britain and in many European countries, this book is a comparative study of the large numbers of women who were engaged in industrial work in the western world in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century, that is at a time when the industrial revolution was established and the problems caused by industrial work had become part of political debate and social discourse worldwide.

Sävelten tyttäret
The book presents the biographies and work lists of 126 Finnish women composers born between 1784 and 1909. Based on large-scale archival research, it is the first comprehensive historical account of Finnish women composers and their cultural heritage. The authors draw on feminist music history and the sociohistorical approach to find out who these women were, what kind of music they wrote, and how their careers reflected European cultural and social history. The treatise highlights the influence of girls’ schools, women’s suffrage movements and other socio-political developments on the musical culture of women. Concepts such as “composer”, “woman” and “Finnish” were assumed to be open and inclusive throughout the research, in terms of both musical style and diversity in cultural background. In concentrating on music-making by women, the book opens up radically new vistas on Finland’s music and cultural history, and it rectifies previous erroneous conceptions about women’s composership and their artistic work. In short, it exposes the richness in the sonic and intellectual heritage of Finnish women composers, as well as its significance in society today.

Carl Grandell oli vaatimattomista oloista kotoisin oleva mies, joka yritti edetä elämässään niillä keinoilla kuin hänelle oli mahdollista. Silti kruunu piti häntä murhaajan veroisena pahantekijänä. 1800-luvun alun Suomessa ihmisen paikka oli ennalta määrätty, eikä rahvaalla ollut mahdollisuuksia nousta yhteiskunnan portaita ylöspäin. Hitaasti leviävä kirjoitustaito tarjosi nokkelalle henkilölle asemiensa parantamiseen yhden keinon - vaikkakin laittoman ja riskialttiin. Mahtavampiensa valla...
