Canth
“Not all women need to_______” Minna Canth (1844–1897) was a writer, opinion-leader and a pioneer of gender equality. She led the debate on women’s rights and position in society with her sharply penned, radical views. One of her best-known quotes is “Not all women need to do handicrafts”. How would Minna Canth finish her sentence today?
