	WOMEN MEMBERS OF FINLAND’S PARLIAMENT
		In 1906 Finland’s Diet of Four Estates, with roots extending back into the 17th century, was replaced by a unicameral Parliament that was the most democratic in Europe at the time.
		In accordance with the Parliament Act that came into force on 1 October, suffrage was universal and equal, the age entitling one to vote and to stand for election being 24 years.
		The Speaker of Parliament was Riitta Uosukainen, who had been elected to the post as the first woman already in 1994, at the end of the previous parliamentary term.

	Parliament of Finland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eduskunta (in Finnish), or the Riksdag (in Swedish), is the Parliament of Finland.
		When the unicameral Parliament of Finland was established by the Parliament Act in 1906, Finland was an autonomous Grand Duchy under the Russian Tsar, who ruled as constitutional Grand Duke of Finland, rather than as an absolute monarch.
		Finland declared its independence on December 6, 1917 and in the winter of 1918 endured the tragic Finnish Civil War, after which monarchists and republicans struggled over the country's form of government.
