Elisabeth Joris
Die Historikerin Elisabeth Joris prägte die Schweizer Frauengeschichtsschreibung wie keine andere. 1987 publizierte sie zusammen mit Heidi Witzig das erste umfassende Werk zum Thema und wurde auf einen Schlag bekannt. 1946 in Visp im Oberwallis geboren, gehörte Joris einer Frauengeneration an, der man noch den Besuch des Gymnasiums verweigert hatte. Es brauchte mehrere Umwege, bis sie 1970 endlich ihren Traum, Geschichte zu studieren, verwirklichen konnte. Diese Erfahrungen und die aufkommende 68er-Bewegung beeinflussten sie. Joris war aktiv in der linken Gruppierung «Kritisches Oberwallis» und wurde Mitte der 1970er-Jahre zur überzeugten Feministin, was sich auf ihre weitere Arbeit als Historikerin auswirkte. Aufgrund von Gesprächen zeichnet Denise Schmid die lebhaft erzählte Biografie einer ganz besonderen Persönlichkeit mit ihrem reichen privaten, politischen und historischen Erfahrungsschatz nach.

Nineteenth-Century Women’s Movements and the Bible
Nineteenth-Century Women’s Movements and the Bible examines politically motivated women’s movements in the nineteenth century, including the legal, cultural, and ecclesiastical contexts of women. Focusing on the period beginning with the French Revolution in 1789 through the end of World War I in 1918, contributors explore the many ways that women’s lives were limited in both the public and domestic spheres. Essays consider the social, political, biblical, and theological factors that resulted in a multinational raising of awareness and emancipation for women in the nineteenth century and the strengthening of their international networks. The contributors include Angela Berlis, Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Ute Gerhard, Christiana de Groot, Arnfriður Guðmundsdóttir, Izaak J. de Hulster, Elisabeth Joris, Christine Lienemann-Perrin, Amanda Russell-Jones, Claudia Setzer, Aud V. Tønnessen, Adriana Valerio, and Royce M. Victor.
The Oxford Handbook of Swiss Politics
This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the many different facets of the Swiss political system and of the major developments in modern Swiss politics. It brings together a diverse set of more than 50 leading experts in their respective areas, who explore Switzerland's distinctive and sometimes intriguing politics at all levels and across multiple themes. In placing the topics in an international and comparative context and in conversation with the broader scholarly literature, the contributors provide a much-needed counterpoint to the rather idealized and sometimes outdated perception of Swiss politics. The work is divided into thematic sections that represent the inherent diversit...
Gender Innovation and Migration in Switzerland
This open access book analyses migration and its relation to socio-political transformation in Switzerland. It addresses how migration has made new forms of life possible and shows how this process generated gender innovation in different fields: the changing division of work, the establishment of a nursery infrastructure, access to higher education for women, and the struggle for female suffrage. Seeing society through the lens of migration alters the perspective from which our past and thus our present is told—and our future imagined.
Thicker Than Water
A pioneering new study of nineteenth-century kinship and family relations, focusing on the British middle class, and highlighting both the similarities and the differences in relations between brothers and sisters in the past and in the present.
Reparations for Nazi Victims in Postwar Europe
Reparations of Nazi Victims in Postwar Europe traces reparations back to their origins in the final years of the Second World War, when victims of Nazi persecution for the first time articulated demands for indemnification en masse. Simultaneous appearance of claims in New York, London, Paris and Tel Aviv exemplified the birth of a new standard in political morality. Across Europe, the demand for compensation to individuals who suffered severe harm gained momentum. Despite vast differences in their experiences of mass victimisation, post-war societies developed similar patterns in addressing victims' claims. Regula Ludi chronicles the history of reparations from a comparative and trans-national perspective. This book explores the significance of reparations as a means to provide victims with a language to express their unspeakable suffering in a politically meaningful way.
