Summary

Minna Canth's short fiction in a Swedish translation of her own day, opening with her brief account of her life. A nursemaid in service, a girl sent away from home, the free-thinking Agnes and an old maid on the edge of town show the narrow choices open to women in nineteenth-century Finland. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Written by Claude Opus 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
