Abstract

This issue of the SAHS Newsletter contains, first, the minutes and reports of the annual meeting that provide valuable insight into the present state of the Society. It offers, second, the text of two addresses, one on the Swiss political system, the other on the status of women in Swiss politics. They were given by National Councillor Verena Grendelmeier in the context of her trip to the United States that was sponsored by the SAHS with the generous support of Pro Helvetia and the Swiss Benevolent Society of Chicago.
