• Summary:

  What does it mean to “be citizens”? Why did women demand the right to vote? How did they gain this right, and for those who do not yet have it, how are they fighting to obtain it?
  Two years after the Women’s Strike of 2019 which adorned the streets of Swiss cities with purple and 50 years after women’s suffrage was obtained in this country, Caroline Stevan traces the history of this fight for gender equality. From the pioneers of the 18th century to the fighters of today, from China to the United States via Switzerland, you will learn what arguments these daring and inspiring women had to counter, which was the first country to grant them the right to vote , and what is the place of women in politics these days.
  A book written for the citizens of tomorrow.
