Political career

In 1892 she founded the Union of Women's Societies , in which men could also become members. This group was the radial than that of Alexandra Gripenberg launched Suomen Naisyhdistys (Finnish Women's Association). She shared the attitude of the Young Finnish Party , which wanted Finland to be completely independent from Russia. Their enthusiasm was dampened when, in the late 1890s, Russia tried to unify its empire: it imposed its administrative and educational system and currency on Finland. Men and women resisted in secret meetings and with illegal newspapers and leaflets, collected signatures for a petition and hid men who tried to evade recruitment attempts by the Russian army.
