Koti ja Yhteiskunta (Finnish: Home and Society) was a monthly women's magazine which was published in Helsinki in the period 1889–1911.[1] It was the official media outlet of the Finnish Women’s Association.[2]
Koti ja Yhteiskunta was first published on 14 April 1889.[3] The founder was Alexandra Gripenberg who also edited the magazine which covered both political writings and domestic articles.[3] She was the sole editor-in-chief of the magazine until 1911 and published various articles.[4] Her writings mostly covered the achievements of women in different countries.[5]
Koti ja Yhteiskunta was published by the Finnish Women’s Association on a monthly basis.[3] The magazine supported the education of women in the 1890s.[6] There was a section of the magazine entitled National News in which it reported statistics on female university graduates.[6] Koti ja Yhteiskunta opposed to women's having sex and children before marriage and denounced the working-class and rural women who were frequently practising these.[7] The magazine also regarded female servants as a threat for family life and demanded that female servants should be tested for sexually transmitted diseases.[7]
After producing a total of 273 issues Koti ja Yhteiskunta ceased publication on 31 December 1911.[3]
