Abstract	"The aim of this article is to investigate and compare the rise and fall of the phenomenon of VET that was specifically designated for women in both Finland and Sweden. The two countries have a common history as one nation for approximately 500 years, until 1809, when Finland became part of the Russian empire with the status of a Grand Duchy. In 1917, Finland declared independency. Despite the formal political boundary, the two countries have continued to share some traits in development, particularly in education. The VET systems became more similarly organised than those of Denmark and Norway in the early 20th century. Frequent study visits between Finnish and Swedish advocates and organisers of women's VET are evident in research. However, increasingly over the decades, some major differences have also emerged. Domestic education for women is a recognised phenomenon in western educational history although it is not always described as vocational and development can be assumed to be different in different societal contexts as in the Nordic case noted earlier. For women's VET in particular there are two things of special interest in the case of Finland and Sweden. Both recognised the need for domestic education as VET earlier than the other Nordic countries alongside of the implementation of agricultural VET for male students. In both countries, household societies1 identified school-based education as a means for spreading knowledge developed within agricultural and technological contexts to farmers in the country. These societies found the prosperity of the nation was related to the prosperity of the family and women´s contribution to the production was recognised as significant. Thus, similarities are expected in this investigation and the more important questions we pursue are what similarities as well as differences in societal motives and tensions can be identified and how are they related to the development of domestic education as vocational education in the two countries?"
