In this chapter, Myry Voipio explores the development of early Finnish girls’ literature, published at the turn of the nineteenth century, and how the novels discuss questions of nationality and emancipation. Voipio analyzes how four novels, Toini Topelius’ (1889) I utvecklingstid [In the time of development], Tekla Roschier’s Auringon noustessa 1898 [At sunrise], and two that use girls’ names as their titles, Hilja Haahti’s Helvi (1900), and Immi Hellen’s Eeva Aarnio (1901), depict their protagonists’ adolescent years. Voipio pays special attention to how the genre of girls’ literature has been reviewed and interpreted in Finland.
