Vergessene Geschichte – Illustrierte Chronik der Frauenbewegung 1914–1963
(Forgotten history – an illustrated chronicle of the women’s movement 1914-1963)

The first comprehensive reference work on the women’s movement from the First World War until 1963.

This chronicle of the women’s movement from 1914 to 1963 first appeared in the “Jahrbuch der Schweizerfrauen“ (Swiss Women’s Almanac). Its texts cover important events in women’s history at national and international level. They show how numerous associations and their members have always played an important and critical role in politics, business, art and culture, and home and the family.

The editor, Marthe Gosteli, was determined that the women’s movement (probably the largest and most diverse social movement of the 20th century) should claim its rightful place in history as a whole.

Available (in German / French only) as a second unrevised edition, at the special price of CHF 60.-- excluding postage.
