This special tour highlights the history of women in Swiss federal politics since the introduction of women’s suffrage in 1971. It presents the challenges faced by the first female parliamentarians, their path into politics, and how women’s representation has developed over time. The tour also looks at how women are represented in the art and architecture of the Parliament building and the symbolic role they play in Swiss democracy.
