Kort på Svenska
Fosterlandet kallades hon, Alma Skog (1846-1939) den outtröttliga aktivisten, kvinnosakskämpen och värnaren för det finlandssvenska språket och kulturen. Hur skulle verkligheten te sig idag om inte personer och eldsjälar som Alma Skog skulle ha kämpat för det som vi idag tar för givet. “Vi får inte tröttna, vi måste hålla ut.” –Alma Skog
