Highlights
Women have helped shape and drive Zurich's development over the centuries – often with nationwide and Europe-wide influence – and in doing so have often faced considerable resistance as pioneers in medicine, business, art, literature, politics, journalism, and architecture. Is it possible to drive away an army without spilling a drop of blood? That’s exactly what the valiant women of Zurich did. Despite considerable resistance, they helped shape the development of Zurich over the centuries – in the areas of science, culture and literature, as pioneers, politicians and advocates, or as powerful women by the sides of many a successful Zurich man. On this tour through the inner city, we visit places related to the work and accomplishments of renowned locals such as Johanna Spyri, the author of Heidi, Mileva Maric, Franziska Dosenbach and many more.

About Zurich
Zurich is Switzerland's largest city, set at the head of a clear lake with Alpine views, a medieval old town and the cabaret where Dada was born.
The Old Town spreads along both banks of the Limmat River, with narrow lanes, guild houses and church spires. The twin towers of the Grossmünster are the city's landmark, the Fraumünster has stained-glass windows by Chagall, and St Peter's Church has one of the largest clock faces in Europe. Lindenhof hill gives a peaceful view over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Zurich: Lucerne, Zurich Old Town (Altstadt), Lake Zurich (Zürichsee).
