However, even in countries which did not recognize a female line of suc- cession, it was not unusual for female regents to be able to reign for a limited period as a substitute for a male ruler. In the subordinate role of mother or wife to the king, too, women were far from powerless and were able to pull strings politically. With the French Revolution of 1789, the absolutist form of government was abol- ished and new political relations estab- lished. These were based on the prin- ciple that the people, not a single ruler, were holders of state power. Politics was considered a thoroughly male business. Women were firmly relegated to the do- mestic sphere.

  • FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 2017. Is It Fall and Winter?
    THE FASHION GROUP FOUNDATION PRESENTS FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 TREND OVERVIEW BY MARYLOU LUTHER N E W Y O R K • LONDON • MILAN • PARIS DOLCE & GABBANA 2017. Is it Fall and Winter? Now and Next? Or a fluid season of see it/buy it and see it/wait for it? The key word is fluid, as in… Gender Fluid. As more women lead the same business lives as men, the more the clothes for those shared needs become less sex-specific. Raf Simons of Calvin Klein and Anna Sui showed men and women in identical outfits. For the first time, significant numbers of male models shared the runways with female models. Some designers showed menswear separately from women’s wear but sequentially at the same site. Transgender Fluid. Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler hired transgender models. Transsexuals also modeled in London, Milan and Paris. On the runways, diversity is the meme of the season. Model selections are more inclusive—not only gender fluid, but also age fluid, race fluid, size fluid, religion fluid. And Location Fluid. Philipp Plein leaves Milan for New York. Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy leave New York for Paris. Tommy Hilfiger, Rebecca Minkoff and Rachel Comey leave New York for Los Angeles. Tom Ford returns to New York from London and Los Angeles. Given all this fluidity, you could say: This is Fashion’s Watershed Moment. The moment of Woman as Warrior—armed and ready for the battlefield. Woman in Control of Her Body—to reveal, as in the peekaboobs by Anthony Vaccarello for Yves Saint Laurent.

  • The Lingerie Salesmen
    The Lingerie Salesmen Gary chases his dream job, to become a sales rep for a lingerie wholesaler. The story is set in 1968. 1 | P a g e As Gary Jones sat in the hotel restaurant in Norwich eating his steak and chips he reflected on what had been a good week so far for sales. It was a Thursday night in October 1968. He had secured several big orders from customers in his patch. He had been on the road for three days and was looking forward to getting home and seeing his wife in Peterborough tomorrow. Perhaps he might sit at the bar for a drink after dinner. There only seemed to be one other man at the bar, nursing a beer. Nine months ago, he had been working for a tractor dealer in Peterborough. Sometimes he had to travel round Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk, selling spare parts. Although he was a successful salesman he found it slightly dull. He had been looking for a new job that paid bonuses based on sales as he knew he would make more money that way. It was his wife who had pointed out the advert in the local paper for a sales rep for a local firm, called Webbers. He had seen the ad but had skipped over it. The sales rep would be selling women’s lingerie and hosiery to department stores and family run businesses anywhere in the UK. Although the firm was also based in Peterborough it would probably mean being away from home most weeks. “But I don’t know anything about women’s clothes, “he said in protest.

  • The Peace Conference of Lausanne (1922-1923)
    Bern 1923 - 2008 With the kind support of: Mrs Ionna Ertegiin Mrs Selma Goksel Tiirkiye I~ Bankasi Anadolu Ajans1 Thanks to: Onur Ozc;:eri (Research, text and layout) Agathon Aerni (research) Tuluy Tanc;: (editing) © Embassy of Turkey, Bern 85 years of representation of the Republic of Turkey in Switzerland (1923-2008) The Embassy of the Republic of Turkey, Bern ~u6tic offJ'urk,ey rrfie (Jlresufent It is no coincidence that the Republic of Turkey purchased its first Embassy premises abroad, in Switzerland's capital, Bern, to establish the seat of its diplomatic representation. The negotiation of a peace treaty and its successful outcome took the shape of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. The Treaty of Lausanne left an indelible mark in our memory. The aspiration of the Turkish nation to live as a free and independent people is thus anchored in Switzerland, a land that earned the reputation for fairness, equity and justice. The subsequent adoption in 1926 of a Civil Code based on the Swiss example, the Montreux Convention negotiated in 1936 in Switzerland giving full sovereignty on the Turkish Straits and other events have solidified this perception. I am therefore particularly pleased that the roots of the friendship bonds between Turkey and Switzerland and the main events associating Switzerland to Turkey have been compiled in a book. The book also illustrates the reciprocal attention and like minded approaches of both Turkey and Switzerland to further promote bilateral relations between two democracies and to facilitate the realization of aspirations of peace. I would like to express my thanks to the President of the Swiss Confederation, His Excellency Pascal Couchepin and to all who have contributed to the realization of this book.

  • Überparteiliches Komitee Beider Basel Gegen Die «Selbstbestimmungs»-Initiative
    Komitee beider Basel NEIN zur «Selbstbestimmungs»-Initiative Postfach 4010 Basel | 4410 Liestal T +41 61 270 60 60 Basel, 9. Oktober 2018 MEDIENMITTEILUNG Selbstbestimmt oder «selbstbestimmter»? - Überparteiliches Komitee beider Basel gegen die «Selbstbestimmungs»-Initiative Am 25. November 2018 stimmt die Schweiz über die «Selbstbestimmungs»-Initiative ab. Ein breit abgestütztes überparteiliches Komitee beider Basel setzt sich für ein Nein der Vorlage ein, die uns Selbstbestimmung vorgaukelt. Im überparteilichen Wirtschaftskomitee sind über 80 Persönlichkeiten aus Politik, Wirtschaft, Wissen- schaft und Gesellschaft aus den beiden Kantonen Basel-Stadt und Basel-Landschaft vertreten. Alle Nati- onal- und Ständeräte der beiden Kantone der Grünen, SP, CVP, LDP und der FDP sowie Parteipräsiden- tinnen und Parteipräsidenten und weitere Vertreter aus Politik und Wirtschaft engagieren sich im Co- Präsidium gegen die Initiative und bekräftigen die negativen Auswirkungen dieser auf die Schweizer Wirt- schaft. Die Initiative will künftig die Bundesverfassung über das internationale Völkerrecht stellen, mit Ausnahme des zwingenden Völkerrechts. In einem Konfliktfall soll das entsprechende Abkommen angepasst oder gekündigt werden. Damit gefährdet sie das bewährte und stabile Zusammenspiel von nationalem und internationalem Recht. Die heute weltweit geschätzte Zuverlässigkeit und Vertragstreue der Schweiz wird unter Vorbehalt gestellt. Das ist ein unnötiger und gefährlicher Angriff auf die Rechtssicherheit und die aussenpolitische Handlungsfähigkeit der Schweiz. Die Schweiz und insbesondere die Region Basel ist auf eine funktionierende internationale Verflechtung angewiesen, denn alleine in unserer Region werden 20 Millionen Tonnen Wirtschaftsgüter im- und expor- tiert. Dies entspricht rund 30% des schweizerischen Aussenhandels. Die Initiative betrifft über 600 Wirt- schaftsabkommen, die unseren Exportunternehmen – häufig KMU – einen sicheren und äusserst vorteil- haften Zugang zu internationalen Märkten ermöglichen.
