This volume brings together articles written particularly from the perspective of women’s studies. They explore folklore and the different roles of women and men within it, from Kalevala-style oral poetry to contemporary traditions, including women’s festivals, customs and genres of folklore. For readers interested in the *Kalevala* and older folk poetry, it offers a critical feminist view of how Elias Lönnrot gathered and shaped the epic’s narrative to suit his intentions.
