Summary
Details

Raittius-Kalenteri (Temperance Calendar) published in 1907 by Suomalainen Kansallis-Raittius-Veljeysseura, offers a fascinating glimpse into the Finnish temperance movement of the early 20th century. This calendar, created by the Finnish National Temperance Brotherhood, served as both a daily planner and a vessel for promoting the ideals of alcohol abstinence. The book provides insight into the social and cultural landscape of Finland during a period of significant change, reflecting the concerns and aspirations of a society grappling with issues of public health and morality.

Beyond its practical function, the Raittius-Kalenteri offers a valuable historical record of the temperance movement's strategies for spreading its message through educational articles and persuasive arguments advocating for a sober lifestyle. For researchers and anyone interested in Finnish history, cultural studies, and the history of social movements, this calendar provides a valuable primary source offering a unique view into the daily lives and moral values of a bygone era.
