Martta och Eero
Denna historiska faktaberättelse gör nedslag i Karelen i Finland under krigsåren 1939-1944. Med hjälp av brev och minnesanteckningar återberättar Marja Taussi Sjöberg hur livet såg ut under en tid då finska män tvingades ut i strid medan kvinnorna ålades att försörja både familj och armé. Detta var också en period då en stor del av Finlands befolkning förlorade sina hem och drevs på flykt. I centrum står författarens egna föräldrar, makarna Martta och Eero Taussi. De var knappt 30 år när kriget bröt ut och Eero stationerades vid fronten medan Martta och barnen blev kvar i Karelen. Under de följande krigsåren skulle de inte ses mer än några få gånger och korrespondensen under den ofrivilliga separationen resulterade i runt två tusen brev. Brev som skildrar såväl livet i fält som vardagen för de som var kvar hemmavid. Marja Taussi Sjöberg, född 1943, är en svensk författare och professor emerita vid Umeå Universitet.
The Enemy Within
This work explores the quantitative and qualitative development of homicide in eastern Finland in the second half of the eighteenth century and the early years of the nineteenth. The area studied comprised northern Savo and northern Karelia in eastern Finland. At that time, these were completely agricultural regions on the periphery of the kingdom of Sweden. Indeed the majority of the population still got their living from burn-beating agriculture. The analysis of homicide there reveals characteristics that were exceptional by Western European standards: the large proportion of premeditated homicides (murders) and those within the family is more reminiscent of modern cities in the West than ...

Rätten och kvinnorna
Runt 1500-talets mitt börjar förändringens vindar att blåsa i Sverige. Landet är på väg mot en reformation, där statsmakten ska förstärkas och kyrkan bli statlig. I samband med att den centrala makten blir allt större får också de rättsliga processerna ett nytt ansikte. Den auktoritet som under lång tid legat hos släkt och familj flyttas nu över till staten. Och det är här kvinnans roll i samhället långsamt börjar förändras. I "Rätten och kvinnorna" fördjupar sig Marja Taussi Sjöberg i den rättsliga omvandling som skedde i Sverige när släktmakten försvann och staten klev in. Hon redogör bl.a. för tingets utformning och det balansskifte inom könsrelationerna som blev en utav reformationens konsekvenser. Hur behandlades ogifta kvinnor, jämfört med hustrur och änkor, när de befann sig i tinget? Och vad hände när kvinnan inte längre stod under släktens beskydd, utan istället blev ensam inför stat och kyrka? Marja Taussi Sjöberg, född 1943, är en svensk författare och professor emerita vid Umeå Universitet. Hon skriver framförallt om rätts- och kvinnohistoria.
The Civilization of Crime
Along with most of the rest of Western culture, has crime itself become more "civilized"? This book exposes as myths the beliefs that society has become more violent than it has been in the past and that violence is more likely to occur in cities than in rural areas. The product of years of study by scholars from North America and Europe, The Civilization of Crime shows that, however violent some large cities may be now, both rural and urban communities in Sweden, Holland, England, and other countries were far more violent during the late Middle Ages than any cities are today. Contributors show that the dramatic change is due, in part, to the fact that violence was often tolerated or even ac...
Witchcraft and Gender in Early Modern Society
How could a woman be three times accused of witchcraft and go on running a successful farmstead? Why would men use a frying pan for cattle magic? Why did witches keep talking about the children? What kind of a relation did Finnish witches have with authority and power? These are among the questions Raisa Maria Toivo addresses in this study, as she explores the gender implications of the complex system of household management and public representation in which seventeenth-century Finnish women and men negotiated their positions. From specific case studies, Toivo broadens her narrative to include historiographical discussion on the history of witchcraft, on women's and gender history and on ea...
Ægteskab i Norden fra Saxo til i dag

Five Centuries of Violence in Finland and the Baltic Area
Most people associate Nordic countries with peace, tranquility, civility, high living standards and generally progressive social arrangements. It is these very qualities that get Nordic countries rejected as policy models because they are too peaceful - what happens there is too remote and too easy compared to the harsh outside world.
The Nordic Model of Marriage and the Welfare State
Ekteskapslover utgjør en viktig del av et samfunns familiepolitikk. Denne rapporten setter søkelys på regulering av ekteskap i Norden i det 20. århundre, med spesiell vekt på ekteskapslov-reformene mellom 1909 og 1929. Likestillingen i ekteskapet kom mye tidligere i Norden enn ellers i Europa, og en av rapportens hovedsikte er å undersøke om man kan snakke om en spesifikk nordisk ekteskapsmodell. Engelsk, svensk og dansk tekst.
Courage and Grief
Courage and Grief illuminates in a nuanced fashion Sweden’s involvement in Europe’s destructive Thirty Years’ War (1618–48). Focusing on the various roles women performed in the bloody and extended conflict, Mary Elizabeth Ailes analyzes how methods of warfare and Swedish society were changing in profound ways. This study considers the experiences of unmarried camp followers and officers’ wives as well as peasant women who remained in the countryside during times of conflict and upheaval. Women contributed to the war effort in a variety of ways. On campaign they provided support services to armies in the field. On the home front they helped to minimize disruptions incurred within their frayed communities. As increasing numbers of men left to fight overseas, women took over local economic activities and defended their families’ interests. Such activities significantly altered the fabric of Swedish society. Examining women’s wartime experiences in the Thirty Years’ War enhances our understanding of women’s roles in society, the nature of female power and authority, and the opportunities and hardships that warfare brought to women’s lives.
