The article deals with one type of diverse relationships between proverbs and women in the Finnish folklore
tradition. Since 1950's in Finland as well as in vrious cultures the underestimation ofwomen and womanhood
has been in the center of discouse connecting women and proverbs. I try to make the women in Finnish
proverbs visible. The focus in this article is on the proverbs in life stories witten dom in 1985 and heard during
the 20th century.
