Uusi Nainen (meaning New Women in English) was a Finnish communist women's magazine published in Helsinki, Finland.[1][2]

History[]

The magazine existed between 1945[3] and 2008.[4] The founder organization was Suomen Naisten Demokraattinen Liitton (Finnish Women's Democratic Organization).[5] It had a different approach in contrast to mainstream women's magazines in the 1960s which made the magazine a progressive alternative to the others.[6] Because it criticised fashion and commercial culture.[6] However, Uusi Nainen overtly carried Soviet propaganda and was under the control of and financed by the Communist Party of Finland, which in turn, was closely related to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.[6] The magazine became the media outlet of Finnish Women's Democratic League in 1990.[2][5]
