Tampere has always been home to more women than men – some might call it a bachelor’s paradise.

Vapriikki proudly presents the splendid achievements of local ladies, both those who were born and bred in Tampere and women who moved here later in life. The list is not exhaustive, but it will certainly satisfy your curiosity and give rise to lively discussion.

The women are by no means presented in order of importance – they have all been significant in their own fields and in their own times. Come and see whether your favourite Tamperess is on the list!
