It is a hundred years since women gained the right to vote in Luxembourg. How did things change for women over the eventful 20th century?

The centenary of women’s right to vote in Luxembourg is an anniversary that deserves to be celebrated.

But was this political right the beginning of women’s emancipation in Luxembourg, or merely the continuation of a movement that began before the First World War?

How did things change for women over the eventful 20th century?

Women’s rights, gender equality, parity: what do young people think about these issues?

This Forum Z is structured in three parts:

Part I: guided tour of the MNHA exhibition on the fourth floor

Part II: experts will offer a critical perspective on women’s emancipation in Luxembourg society, followed by a question and answer session;

Part III: three interactive workshops to choose from, giving you the opportunity to take part in the discussions or in reenactment scenes.
