Description
This work reviews and discusses the problems of gender politics using Finland as a study. Finland is seen as interesting because it is seen to be advanced in terms of women's representation and has a strong welfare state. It is also the border between east and west and is important in terms of studying other cultures. The book concludes that equality in Finland is actually a myth.
