Overview
Women have helped shape and drive Zurich's development over the centuries – often with nationwide and Europe-wide influence – and in doing so have often faced considerable resistance as pioneers in medicine, business, art, literature, politics, journalism, and architecture.
Is it possible to drive away an army without spilling a drop of blood? That’s exactly what the valiant women of Zurich did. Despite considerable resistance, they helped shape the development of Zurich over the centuries – in the areas of science, culture and literature, as pioneers, politicians and advocates, or as powerful women by the sides of many a successful Zurich man.
On this tour through the inner city, we visit places related to the work and accomplishments of renowned locals such as Johanna Spyri, the author of Heidi, Mileva Maric, Franziska Dosenbach and many more.
