The purpose of this article is to introduce some features of the relationship
between proverbs and gender in Finnish folklore tradition. I focus on
pedagogical speech using proverbs in the life-stories from the end of the 19th
century and the beginning of the 20th century. The main interest is on bringing
up children concentrating on the written memories and the everyday life of
ordinary people. This deals with the private level of education in childhood
memories.
