Gender and Vocation

Five scholars from Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway examine the relations of gender and vocation in the Lutheran North of Europe. The five essays explore the various ways in which Nordic women in the midst of social changes during the 19th and 20th centuries redefined gender relations by giving new interpretations of the established notions of women's vocation.
