Review by Beatrice Eichmann-Leutenegger "You can't duck!" Inspirational: Franziska Rogger presents portraits of female academics from Bern who have broken new ground. They could have been our mothers or grandmothers: these 27 women, born between 1898 and 1926. The historian Franziska Rogger Kappeler, born in Lucerne in 1949 and living in Bern for a long time, interviewed the women whose biographies have found their way into the new publication at the end of the 1990s. This guarantees a captivating read, so that you won't want to put the book down. ... This book is full of information, suggestions and life insights. These women worked hard and overcame many obstacles - especially those who came from a less educated background. But you couldn't duck, as Ellen Beer strongly warned.
