Der Kampf um gleiche Rechte

The Long Road to Equality - Le long chemin vers l'égalité How is it that women in Switzerland were able to study law or medicine almost a century before they gained access to the ballot boxes? This collective work sheds new light on the history of women's suffrage in Switzerland and traces the particularly long struggles in a country where complex political and legal structures change only very slowly. Over thirty experts in women's history describe certain aspects or episodes of this long struggle in their respective mother tongues, namely German, French, or Italian. The work also includes short biographies of significant figures who contributed to the development of a true democracy.
