The idiot couldn't even find himself

a decent wife. Nor could you!

Shut up, father!

Or I'll send you to

an old people's home.

So, in

my day

- your day is gone.

And that's good!

And, in future, you can

get your own beer out of the fridge.

Mummy!

Dearly beloved,

family of the deceased.

We are gathered here today,

to bid farewell

to the bear-vreni.

We all knew her

as the good soul of the village.

She was hardworking and

persevering.

And, above all, she was modest.

She never complained.

From morning to night,

she helped her husband

keep all the pub-goers

happy-

she knew what it meant to "serve"

and when her beloved husband died

and the bear closed,

she too could take

a well-earned

rest.

Finally, she had the time

to devote to her family

and especially her grandchildren.

Vreni was a happy,

content person

because throughout her life

she knew exactly

where she belonged.

Where her place was

in god's plan.

Fellow mourners

We all know

that the bear was her home.

And that she was really

passionate about running the pub.

We all also know, that bear

didn't simply have to close.

It closed because

her husband ran it badly

and squandered all the money.

And vreni could not

do anything about it,

because money is men's business.

Vreni lost the bear, her home,

because she was a woman,

not a man.

Why should that

be whitewashed here today?

Because it's so crystal clear

how blatantly unfair that is!

I believe god's plan

sees us all as people.

All different

but still the same.

None better and none worse.

Men and women.

Yes, I believe that.

And in her last few weeks,

vreni fought for exactly that.

Freedom and justice.

And we should

remember that today.

That is all.

Bern.

In the 224th

Swiss referendum,

the people and state agreed to the

introduction of women's right to vote.

A minor miracle!

Women's right to vote was

even agreed in our village.

It was very close.

And then, a few months later,

hans and I a few months later,

for the very first time.

For you, vreni.

Therese did not go

back to Werner.

With magda's help,

she managed to get Hanna

out of prison.

Werner sold the farm.

For him, it was the first step

towards being happier again.

And graziella noticed

that sometimes

being in a couple can be lonelier

than when you are alone.

And between me and hans,

a little bit of the sexual revolution

arrived at last.

You see?

A tiger.

In 1981, the principle of

equality

between men and women

was included in the constitution.

It was 1990 before appenzell lnnerrhoden

became the last canton

to introduce voting rights for women.
