Image description

In February 1957, a girl looked out of a door in Unterbaech in the canton of Valais. Will she be able to make political decisions about her future as an adult woman? The local council had decided to let the women of Unterbaech take part in the vote on the obligatory civil defense for women on March 3, 1957. However, the vote was cancelled by the canton of Valais and the federal government for this municipality. In 1971, the majority of the cantons introduced the right of women to vote at cantonal and communal level.
