Words and Deeds : Discord between the British Parliament and the Women’s Social and Political Union relating to the First Conciliation Bill of 1910
2021
This article focuses on the question of women’s suffrage in Britain by analyzing the interaction between the House of Commons and the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) - the radical suffrage organization founded in 1903 and led by the famous Pankhursts. Central to this study are parliamentary debates relating to the Parliamentary Franchise (Women) Bill, better known as the first Conciliation Bill in 1910, as well as the writings published in 1910 in WSPU’s periodical, Votes for Women. To give a fresh angle to existing research on the question of female franchise, the parliamentary aspect is emphasized and connected to the suffragettes, the members of the WSPU. The kind of influence …

A Finnish socialist female parliamentarian stopped on the Dutch border: the (de) politicization of Finnish women’s suffrage in Dutch battles on votes for women This research article in transnational history analyses an incident during which Hilja Pärssinen, a Finnish socialist woman MP, was stopped on the Dutch border in September 1913 on her way to visit a suffragette college in London. This two-hour event at the border and public controversy that followed were clashes between competing ideological and gendered discourses on women’s political agency. The incident was a nexus of intersecting discourses on a range of issues: Dutch and international debates on women’s suffrage, discourse on ‘…
Työväenpuolueen ja työläisnaisten puolesta : Womenʻs Labour League vuodesta 1906 vuoden 1918 loppuun
2010
Käsittelen pro gradu- työssäni Women´s Labour League-järjestön (WLL) näkemyksiä ja suhdetta työtä tekeviin naisiin, kotiäiteihin sekä työväenpuolueeseen järjestön perustamisesta vuonna 1906 siihen asti, kun se vuoden 1918 lopulla liittyi virallisesti osaksi työväenpuoluetta. Tutkin sitä, miten niiden etujen ajaminen ja näkemykset näkyivät WLL:n toiminnassa sekä kumman asioiden ajaminen oli järjestölle tärkeämpää. Lisäksi pohdin sitä, vaikuttivatko erilaiset aikakaudelle tyypilliset yhteiskunnalliset tekijät, kuten sosialismi, keskiluokan näkemykset työväenluokasta ja etenkin sen naisista sekä suffragetit, WLL:n ajatuksiin ja toimintaan. Pääasiallisina alkuperäislähteinä käytän WLL:n johtoku…

A Model Country or a Peripheral Anomaly? The Finnish Women's Suffrage and Female MPs in Transnational Debates, 1906-19
2022
The introduction of women’s suffrage in 1906 and the election of the first female members to parliament made Finland an object of international attention. Contemporary cross-national comparisons were common, and there was a tendency to compete and evaluate each other. In Finland, many women activists and some male politicians, too, felt that they had to prove women’s political competence and hence actively communicated the experiences of women’s suffrage struggle internationally. Abroad, comparisons were exploited either to support women’s suffrage or to demonstrate its evil consequences, depending on party affiliation. The Finnish example encouraged suffragists in France, the Netherlands a…
