In search of supportive structures for everyday life

Liisa Horelli, Kirsti Vepsä

pp. 201-226

During the past decade, Scandinavian women have been active participants in a movement and have been action researchers in the issues of building and housing on women's conditions. This chapter describes (1) the history of the movement and its vision of supportive structures for a "New Everyday Life"; (2) the theoretical perspective and practical examples of the Scandinavian women's action research project; and (3) two case studies illustrating the application of the New Everyday Life concept in the Finnish context. The chapter also discusses critical issues in this kind of action research and the implications for future research.
