1991 actually: In 1991 following a decision by the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, Appenzell Innerrhoden became the last Swiss canton to grant women the vote on local issues

Sad, but on another side, particularly funny thinking about the possible meanings of the name "Innerrhoden."

  • For those who don't speak German: "Innerrhoden" sounds like "innerer Hoden", or "inner testicle" in English.

    • Innerhoden is a none-word. It doesn't exist. There is an Inerrhoden (double r) in Switzerlandl,,,,,
