520 |a Women worked hard during the Second World War and the immediate post-war period in every sector of Finnish society. This article examines women's narratives of experience focusing on paid work in the 1940s. Decades later, tiredness, pain and continuous work no longer seem to be such difficult subjects, the article discusses how the women talk positively, even about hard work. The interaction between the grand narrative of the hard-working, equal Finnish woman and the ways women recount their memories is complex. Nostalgic elements have a significant role in the reminiscence of work and also time of war. The article is based on both oral history and written memories stored in Finnish archives, and discusses differences between these two types of material.
