Famous Swiss Women
It was only after the mid-20th century that legal and social role of the women of Switzerland took shape. The Swiss women were expected to adhere to the old traditions and strong patriarchal authority. But things started to take a better shape when the Swiss women won rights to vote and even gained the status of equal rights with men. Now that we know the role of Swiss women in their country's growth, let's take a look at what the standards of beauty are according to the Swiss women. Well, to begin with, Swiss women are perceived to be the perfectionist. They are known for their charisma and their flair for pulling off natural looks yet looking nothing less than a goddess. Swiss women have already put themselves on the map for their gorgeous hair, and even for their tall, model-like built physique. But that's not all that these women are celebrated for. Most of the international titles like 'Hottest' and 'Beautiful' women in the world are bestowed on the Swiss women like Julie Ordon and Sonja Kinski. You might know popular Swiss women Ursula Andress as one of the infamous 'Bond Girls', and even Johanna Spyri as the author of the 'Heidi'. That’s not it!
