Verena Siegrist can look back at an eventful life. She was a close friend of Amalie and Theo Pinkus and has been a frequent visitor in Salecine from the beginning. She is an integral part of the political and women’s movement history of the city of Zurich. Even for the Swiss secret service she was that interesting that they observed her for 40 years (1949 – 1989). Last year at the feminist seminar, she presented her book: “Eventful times, eventful life”. This year, we want to have a closer look at how she lived those eventful times and want to have an exchange what the political and private lifes of young women look like today. Along the topics of “contraception, gender roles and family and reproductive medicine” we are going to time travel from the 1950s until today.
