Abstract

Regula Stämpfli analyzes the connection between the mobilization of women for national defence and their acquired citizenship rights in Switzerland from 1914 to 1945. In a historical span from the First World War, characterized by women’s strong engagement in social work, to the debates of Swiss democracy in the inner-war period to women’s auxiliary work during the Second World War, she traces to what extent the maintenance of the old gender order served as the highest guideline for politics and the military. The integration of women and women’s organizations in national defence was instrumental and incomplete. Despite opposing hopes, they were denied political rights until 1971.
