Abstract

The archived data consist of 32 diaries written in Finnish about the work, life, and feelings of women living in rural Finland. The data were collected in connection with a questionnaire survey (FSD2043) where every 40th sampled person was asked to write a diary in addition to completing the questionnaire. They were asked to keep a diary for a week of their everyday activities, events and feelings. The dataset is only available in Finnish.
