[1]
Anti-Suffraggete
In hindsight of a referendum on women's voting rights in 1959, the Committee of Swiss Women against women's suffrage was founded in 1958.

[6] In a letter to the teacher of her daughter, Monn-Krieger tried to compel the teacher of the disadvantages of women's suffrage. [6] The teacher would eventually become a Grand Councilor of Lucerne. [6] She died in December 1970, [5] before women's suffrage was approved in a referendum in 1971.
