Emilie Lieberherr

Emilie Lieberherr (October 14, 1924, Erstfeld - January 3, 2011, Zollikerberg; place of origin in Zürich und Nesslau), was a Swiss politician (Social Democratic Party of Switzerland).

She was a leading figure in the final struggle for women's suffrage in Switzerland, and a part of the committee which organised the famous March to Bern for women suffrage in 1969.

In 2014 Emilie Lieberherr's work was honoured by the Gesellschaft zu Fraumünster.

The further, for that time extremely high subventions, but lacking of alternative governmental cultural programs for the youth in Zürich, occurred in 1980 to the so-called Opernhauskrawalle youth protests – Züri brännt, meaning Zürich is burning, documented in the Swiss documentary film Züri brännt (movie). The most prominent politician involved was Emilie Lieberherr, then member of the city's executive (Stadtrat) authorities.
