A Noble Duty: Woman as an Official in the End of 19th Century Finland
Open University's Cultural History course book
Deals with being a teacher by examining the lives of three women but also in general the position of a working woman when gender segregation was strong. Or at least it should. It gave a very light aftertaste: I don't really know anything about being a teacher at that time more than before. The title is misleading because there's mostly info on what the position of women were.

And there's lots of sentence repeating, sometimes even after only a couple of chapters. Another thing that irritated me was the lack of translation of Swedish quotes. Now I strongly disagree with the author that they supposedly don't even need one. I suck at Swedish even though I live in Finland so I would really appreciate knowing what they said.
