Title Martta
Credits E-text prepared by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Martta" by Theodolinda Hahnsson is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century." The story revolves around Martta, a young girl from the countryside, who faces the challenges and transformations as she moves to the city to serve as a maid for the Viirinen family. The narrative likely explores themes of rural versus urban life, personal growth, and the dynamics of class and service. "At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the bustling life of Haalmanska, a woman who facilitates the hiring of maids for the local nobility." As she interacts with various characters looking for help, we get a glimpse into the societal norms and expectations of the time. The opening scenes highlight the preparation for Martta's move to the city, where she will take on the role of a servant, leaving her childhood behind. The text skillfully sets up the contrasting worlds of her past in Jylhämäki and her future among the gentry, establishing the foundation for Martta's journey.
