Switzerland will mark 50 years since women won the vote on Sunday dismally late for a country that prides itself on having one of the oldest democracies in the world. The move came in 1971, more than a century after the first demands for universal suffrage in the country. Swiss politicians including Justice Minister Karin Keller-Sutter hailed the progress made since then. February 7, 1971 marked the decisive step towards gender equality, she said in a tweet. It was also the birth of the democracy we are so rightly proud of today: a complete democracy. Ruth Dreifuss, who became the first woman to serve as president in 1999, stressed that the past half century had seen the elimination of legal discrimination between men and women in large part thanks to the votes cast by women.
