While looking through the archives of the local police department in Turku, Finland, Kirsi Vainio-Korhonen came across an intriguing document – Sundhets Journal, a health register that records the examinations of women suspected of carrying and spreading venereal diseases in the area between 1838 and 1848. This register is extraordinary in many ways: it tells us about sex work before the era of regulated prostitution and reveals details about people who rarely wrote about themselves. Sundhets Journal and the women appearing on its pages inspired Vainio-Korhonen to write Musta-Maija ja Kirppu-Kaisa – Seksityöläiset 1800-luvun alun Suomessa (Black Maija and Flea Kaisa: Sex Workers in Early Nineteenth-Century Finland). In her study, Kirsi Vainio-Korhonen explores the lives of 164 women attending regular health inspections. She combines the information from the health register with archival materials – including documents from church records, legal institutions, the local administration, and hospitals – to construct a more lifelike picture of these women. The reader will learn about their living conditions, health problems, marital status, social relations, legal matters, occupations, and wealth – that is, about numerous aspects explaining their life course.
