Abstract
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of women’s suffrage at the federal level, this article proposes to seize «1971» as an opportunity for critical reflection on the history of democracy. The long history of the introduction of women’s suffrage in Switzerland, if it allows us to reflect on the complex mechanisms specific to the national context that may have hindered the suffragist struggle, can also be linked to a transnational history of suffragist movements and democracy. Behind the simple account of a «delay» specific to Switzerland, it is then the gendered construction of modern democracies that can be questioned.
