  • Iris von Roten-Meyer (2 April 1917 – 11 September 1990) was a Swiss journalist, writer, feminist, jurist and a lawyer. Iris von Roten was born in Basel, Switzerland . She was the editor of the women's paper Schweizer Frauenblatt in 1943–1945. She was a feminist, inspired by Simone de Beauvoir. She is most known for her feminist work Frauen im Laufgitter: the book received such negative criticism and hostility that she was blamed for the fact that the proposal for women's suffrage was voted down in 1959. On 6 December 1955, during the "Panthermantel Affair", von Roten was stopped by Police officers at 2 am while on the way to her analyst. The police officers did not believe that she was a lawyer and took her to the police station where she was interrogated for refusing to comply with their questions. She later claimed that she had been Arrested because she had been wearing trousers and thus the police has mistaken her for a prostitute. Feeling discriminated against, von Roten went to the news to open a dialogue about women's right. This incident in part inspired her to write her controversial book "Frauen im Laufgitter" Her book "Frauen im Laufgitter" evoked a negative reaction from men and women alike. Men saw her as man-hating and mocked her; the women of Switzerland saw her as a radical, and blamed her for the losing vote on women's suffrage. They believed in gradual change and saw her as far too extreme. von Rotens daughter Hortenia has been quoted explaining the rejection, saying: "Women do not like to recognize and do not gladly admit what a lousy situation they are." After the negative reception of her book, she left for Turkey to fulfill a childhood dream and not, as many believed, to run from the backlash. Once in Turkey, she thoroughly enjoyed herself and did as she pleased, being able to ignore Traditional Gender roles. After her short stay in Turkey, von Roten returned to Switzerland and wrote a memoir of her Travels. It was rejected by publishers. Following her rejection, she chose to continue traveling. Iris von Roten committed suicide on 11 September 1990 at the age of 73. She was quoted saying, "Just as a guest has to know when it's time to depart, a person should rise from the table of life while there's still time." (en)

  • Iris von Roten-Meyer (Basilea, 2 aprile 1917 – Basilea, 11 settembre 1990) è stata una giornalista, scrittrice e avvocato svizzera. Editrice del giornale femminile Schweizer Frauenblatt dal 1943 al 1945, si ispirava a Simone de Beauvoir. È nota soprattutto per la sua opera femminista Frauen im Laufgitter: il libro ricevette critiche e ostilità così negative, tanto che fu incolpata per la respinta della proposta per il suffragio femminile nel 1959. Il 6 dicembre 1955, durante il "caso Panthermantel", la von Roten-Meyer fu fermata dalla polizia alle 2 del mattino mentre si recava dal suo analista. Gli agenti di polizia non credevano che lei fosse un avvocato e la portarono alla stazione di polizia, dove fu interrogata per essersi rifiutata di soddisfare le loro domande. In seguito affermò di essere stata arrestata perché indossava pantaloni e quindi la polizia l'aveva scambiata per una prostituta. Sentendosi discriminata, la von Roten-Meyer si rivolse alla stampa per aprire un dialogo a proposito dei diritti delle donne. Questo episodio in parte la ispirò a scrivere il suo controverso libro Frauen im Laufgitter Il suo libro Frauen im Laufgitter evocò una reazione negativa da parte di uomini e donne. Gli uomini lo vedevano come odio nei confronti dell'uomo e la prendevano in giro, mentre le donne svizzere la consideravano una radicale e la biasimavano per il voto perdente sul suffragio femminile. Credevano in un cambiamento graduale e la consideravano troppo estrema. La figlia della von Roten-Meyer Hortenia fu citata spiegando il rifiuto, dicendo: "Le donne non amano riconoscere e non ammettere volentieri in che pessima situazione si trovino." Dopo la negativa accoglienza del suo libro, partì per la Turchia per realizzare un sogno d'infanzia e non, come molti credettero, per scappare dalla reazione contraria. Una volta in Turchia si godette la vita, ignorando i tradizionali ruoli di genere. Dopo la sua breve permanenza in Turchia, tornò in Svizzera e scrisse un libro sui suoi viaggi, ma fu respinta dagli editori. Dopo il suo rifiuto, scelse di continuare a viaggiare. Iris von Roten-Meyer si suicidò l'11 settembre 1990 all'età di 73 anni. Disse: "Proprio come un ospite deve sapere quando è ora di partire, una persona dovrebbe alzarsi dal tavolo della vita finché c'è ancora tempo". (it)
