Lähiösuunnittelu sukupuolten tasa-arvon esteenä
Nuorten arkkitehtien aloitteessa 1960-luvun puolivälissä käynnistynyt lähiökriittinen keskustelu vaati suomalaisen lähiösuunnittelun uudistamista. Sen hetkinen puutarhakaupungin idea, jota edusti esimerkiksi Espoon Tapiola, tuli hylätä, ja lähiöt tuli kaavoittaa isommalle asukasmäärälle ja niihin tuli asuntojen lisäksi sijoittaa työpaikkoja, palveluja ja vapaa-ajanviettopaikkoja.

Equality on Male Terms or Reconstruction of Gender Roles? Association 9 and the Finnish Sex Role Ideology of the 1960s
The public and political discussion on women's position in society and gender equality was initiated in the Nordic countries in the 1960s in the form of the so-called sex role debate. Previous studies have characterized sex role ideology as narrower in its goals than the radical feminist ideology of the late 1960s and 1970s. Sex role ideology has also been criticized for understanding equality on male terms, whereas feminist ideology has been tho…

Radical sex role ideology and the Finnish gender role movement in the late 1960s
An active discussion of gender roles and the need to renegotiate them took place in the late 1960s in Finland. While previous studies have associated this ‘sex role debate’ with the independent civic organisation Association 9, this article focuses on the wider gender role movement. The article analyses the interplay and differences among the Finnish Women’s Democratic League, the Committee for Women’s Status, and Association 9’s grassroots activ…

Who Dares to Wear Trousers? Adoption of a New Fashion by Finnish Women 1920-1980
Trousers have traditionally been men's clothing that women have not been allowed to wear. In this article, I study the history of women's wearing of trousers in the twentieth-century Finnish context by analysing women's own memories and experiences of the trouser trend. My research material consists of written reminiscences, which I use, first, to reconstruct the social and cultural factors that framed women's choices. Second, I approach their pe…
It Wasn't Common for Women to Wear Trousers”
This article deconstructs the nostalgic image of 1950s fashion by studying how Finnish women experienced the ideals and practices of 1950s dress and how they narrate those ideals and practices. The article focuses on women's wearing of trousers and the attitudes towards it because, on the one hand, in their wearing of trousers, women in the 1950s were restricted to sportswear, work wear, and leisure wear, while on the other hand, this conservativ…
