Ida Monn-Krieger

Ida Monn-Krieger (1916 – 1970) was a Swiss anti-Suffragette and president of the Federation of Swiss women against women's suffrage.

Early life and education Ida Monn-Krieger was born in Wolhusen in Canton Lucerne in 1916. She attended high school in Lucerne from which she graduated with a Matura. Out of this committee, a Federation of Swiss women against women's suffrage was established following the defeat of the suffragists in the referendum on women's suffrage in 1959. According to Isabelle Dahinden she feared the loss of the traditional role model of the women. She saw a women's role at home where she is supposed to raise the children. In a letter to the teacher of her daughter, Monn-Krieger tried to compel the teacher of the disadvantages of women's suffrage. The teacher would eventually become a Grand Councilor of Lucerne. She died in December 1970, before women's suffrage was approved in a referendum in 1971.
