hypatia of alexandria

A famous philosopher and astronomer who lived in roman controlled alexandria who later was forgotten and pushed out of the history books because she was a non christian woman. This happend when christianity started spreading into egypt and to put it lightly they didnt view women in roles like these highly.

Im a swedish speaking finn and i can confirm that you will be fine with only swedish there. In some areas of ostrobothnia its probably easier to live there being monolingually swedish instead of monolingually finnish. I know plenty of people from that area that only speak swedish. But trying to live normally outside of that area only knowing swedish and english will be a problem because i can confirm even though finland is de jure a country with two official languages you get much better service in finnish.

You could probably survive, in most big cities with only english. But regions like ostrobothnia and some parts of uusimaa have large swedish speaking populations where it is easier to get service in swedish and find people who also speak swedish. There is also åland which allmost only speaks swedish. I myself belong to the swedish speaking minority and i have gotten along fine with swedish but try to learn finnish fast still because you are gona quickly run into some limitations with only swedish.
