Original Vintage Poster by Arthur Rahm, designed for opponents of women’s suffrage in the canton Basel-Stadt, on which the men voted in 1954 – for the fourth time, following votes in 1920, 1927, and 1946. Result: rejected, with just under 55 percent of the vote. In a trial vote among women in February, approval exceeded 72 percent.
On the fifth attempt in 1966, it finally succeeded: 60 percent of eligible male voters approved, making Basel-Stadt the pioneering canton of German-speaking Switzerland.
