THE DIVINE ORDER
In 1971, the cities of Europe are in the throes of student revolt against capitaliusm and patriarchy. In the Swiss mountain village where Nora Ruckstuhl lives, however, a "Committee against the Politicization of Women" forms, led by the local carpenter's wife. In this case, "against politicization" means "against suffrage". Nora, married mother of two boys, wants to vote, however, and wants to be able to work without asking her husband for permission. She begins a struggle against tradition and a society that is trying to deny her rights.
