Naisten Ääni (Finnish: Women's Voice) was a feminist magazine which was published between 1905 and 1949 in Helsinki, Finland. It was started by the Naisasialiitto Unioni (Finnish: Feminist Association Union) and became affiliated with the Suomalainen naisliitto from 1907.

History and profile

Naisten Ääni was established by the Naisasialiitto Unioni in 1905.[1] The magazine ended its connection with the Naisasialiitto Unioni in 1907 and became an official organ of the Suomalainen naisliitto.[2][3] The latter had members from Swedish- and Finnish-speaking groups in Finland.[3]

Maikki Friberg was instrumental in the foundation of Naisten Ääni and served as its editor-in-chief until her death in 1927.[1][4] The magazine attempted to enlighten women about various topics such as women's right to vote.[4] It mostly featured political articles on women's education, their employment and emancipation and the mini-biographies of women and obituaries.[1][2] Some of the articles were written by women.[5] The magazine sold 10,000 copies in 1917.[1]

Naisten Ääni folded in 1949.[6] Its issues were archived by the National Library of Finland.[1]
