In one of her articles (called "Halpahintaisen käännöskirjallisuuden naisisstuminen" /"Feminization of cheap literature in translation"/, published in the journal Sunnuntai, 19.11.1916), Onerva deplored the "feminization" of literature translated in Finland, attacking mostly the "dull & bourgeois" female authors (mostly Nordic ones, as Ingeborg Maria Sick, Jenny Blicher-Clausen, Anna Baadsgaard, Emilie Flygare-Carlén) as "undesirable import"... Onerva's case is a prototype of one of a woman writer/translator/critic being torn between the commitment to the "women's cause", the "national project" and loyalty with the (mostly male) literary group of decadents & Nietzscheans, just as so many women in other European literatures of the period.
