The struggle of these people made life brighter for all of us.

Emilie Kempin-Spyri battled against all the odds to become
the first woman to gain a law degree in Switzerland in 1887 –
and later founded a law school in New York.

Imagine if people around them gave them more
encouragement what would our life would look like?
I am sure it would have been even brighter.
I cannot understand why the 1st reaction of people is to say NO or
the refusal to everything new.

	Women finally gained full equality under the Swiss constitution in 1981, after gaining the right to vote ten years earlier a whole century later at long last. Men still have a problem with womens rights and still attempt to convince us that we are not really happy with them. duh! Love: My mother was a woman. Malex: If it weren't for women, WE WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE! No kidding guys

	She tried and in itself that is success. Today ,because of her, you will find lots of successful female lawyers and they struggled to reach their positions. She was a pioneer
