“…(Työläisnaisliitosta ks. Sulkunen 1989;Lähteenmäki 2002. ) Toveritar esimerkiksi ilmoitti, että sen yhtenä tarkoituksena oli tarjota vaihtoehto Kotiliedelle, jonka "talousohjeet ja muotikirjeet ovat hyvin useat paljon, niin valitettavan paljon yläpuolella meidän työläisnaisten toteuttamismahdollisuuksia!"…”

Suomalaisen 1900-luvun alun porvarillisen naisliikkeen tavoitteena oli kasvattaa sivistyneitä, siveellisiä, taloudellisia ja ahkeria naisia. Tässä artikkelissa Arja Turunen tutkii, kuinka uudenlaisia naiskansalaisuuden ihanteita opetettiin naistenlehtien pukeutumisohjeiden kautta. Artikkelin aineistona ovat 1920- ja 1930-luvuilla Kotiliedessä, Emäntälehdessä ja Toverittaressa julkaistut pukeutumista ja muotia käsitelleet jutut. Lehtien säästäväisyyttä ja käytännönläheisyyttä painottaneet pukeutumisneuvot heijastivat lukijoiden taloudellista tilannetta, mutta artikkelissa osoitetaan, että ne samalla edustivat myös kulutuskulttuurin tuloa sekä kytkeytyivät aikakauden kansalaiskasvatuksen tavoitteisiin. Ohjaamalla naisia pukeutumaan tilanteen ja aseman mukaan sekä huomioimaan funktionaalisuuden, hygieenisyyden ja taloudellisuuden vaatimukset lehdet välittivät lukijoilleen uudenlaista itsetarkkailuun perustuvaa terveys- ja sivistysajattelua. Täten ne tähtäsivät tavallisen kansan ja työväestön elämäntavan, arvojen ja normien sekä ulkoasun muuttamiseen. Vaikka lehtien välillä oli poliittisia eroja, porvarillista naisliikettä edustaneen Kotilieden ja Emäntälehden ohjeet olivat saman tyyppisiä kuin työväenliikettä edustaneen Toverittaren ohjeet.

“…During the interwar period, some new policies were enacted to address married women's domestic responsibilities and their rights to engage in paid work. The proportion of married women in employment had started to grow in the 1910s, and by 1920 10 percent of urban working women were married (Lähteenmäki 1995; Tunkelo 1933). By 1917, unpaid maternity leave for industrial, commercial, and clerical workers was granted, and a law on state aid for municipal and private kindergartens came into force in 1927.…”

“…Married women's right to participate in the labor market was, however, challenged in the economic and demographic context of the 1930s. Unemployment grew during the Great Depression, and polemics against women's employment outside the home spread from Western Europe and Sweden to Finland (Lähteenmäki 1995). At the time, it was not uncommon to dismiss women when they married or became pregnant, though this affected mainly clerical workers in commercial cooperatives, insurance companies, and banks (Kom.…”

“…1948: 24). However, no legal prohibitions or restrictions were imposed against working wives, unlike in Central Europe (Lähteenmäki 1995). Furthermore, the debate on the place of women was fueled by social anxieties about population decline and related pronatalist ideas that traveled to Finland from other parts of Europe (Meskus 2006; Pedersen 1993).…”

“…1907; Salmela-Järvinen 1919 in Husu et al 1995). However, the ultimate goal of early-twentieth-century social democratic women and socialist feminists had been to “emancipate” working-class mothers from paid work so that they could dedicate themselves to the upbringing of their children, even if “minor reforms,” such as municipal kindergartens and maternity insurance had also been supported by most (Lähteenmäki 1995: 228).…”

A New Social Risk? Social-Scientific Knowledge and Work-Life Balance in Twentieth-Century Finland

Work-life balance, or the reconciliation of work and family, has been discussed recently as a "new social risk" in comparative research on the welfare state. According to this discussion, the social security systems of traditional welfare states were built after World War II in order to protect (male) breadwinners against the "old social risks" such as the loss of income due to old age, sickness, accident, or unemployment. Scholars have argued, however, that these postwar policies have been inadequate for dealing with the new types of risks that resulted from complex changes in employment practices and family life. This article reflects critically upon the conceptualization of work-life balance as a new social risk by focusing on one of the Nordic countries, which have come to be known for their policies that combine (female) parenthood and paid work. In particular, it analyzes the problematization and governance of work-family reconciliation in twentieth-century Finland. Overall, the article argues that social scientific knowledge played a key role in the ways in which work-life balance was rendered intelligible and manageable as a social policy issue.
