Das Thema «Frauenstimmrecht» in den LP21-basierten Geschichtslehrmitteln

Abstract

The 50th anniversary of the 1971 vote that introduced electoral and voting rights for Swiss women is a sticking point for the country, as only two European countries granted women political rights even later. For the struggle of women and the women’s movement, however, the vote is a milestone in the fight for gender justice in Switzerland. The article describes how the topic was integrated into the Swiss-German curriculum (LP21) and into the teaching materials adapted to it, and thus shows which orientation offers are suggested to teachers.
