Revisioning democracy and women's suffrage : critical feminist interventions - MEYER: Revisioning democracy women suffrage

This anthology addresses the current understanding of democracy from a feminist, intersectional and trans-national perspective with a particular focus on the relevance of women's suffrage in Switzerland since 1971, and analyses challenges for women's political participation worldwide. It points to the significance of memory politics, political struggles and discourses on citizenship and human rights that shape democracies today. Furthermore, it examines how digitalization affects women's democratic participation, exploring both the opportunities it opens up and the barriers it may create, while also expanding the concept of democracy beyond traditional state institutions.
