Abstract
As part of the festivities organized for the 50th anniversary of women’s right to vote in Switzerland and in Fribourg (1971-2021), a group of teachers and students from the 10th HarmoS year explores local and regional history through the lens of women’s rights and gender. This project will result in the creation of teaching kits intended for Fribourg’s middle schools. By analyzing materials drawn from local archives, students will be able to discover the history of their region and draw their attention to the status of women in Fribourg between the 15th and the early 20th century. What was the role of women in pre-industrial and industrial society? How did their rights and opportunities differ from those of men? What can we learn about the history of Fribourg by studying sources relevant to women’s history, and how does that change the traditional perspective? These are some of the questions that the students will explore with the help of documents from the canton’s museums and archives.
