Marie Goegg-Pouchoulin, born on 24 May,1826 in Geneva, Switzerland is considered one of the first feminist in the country. She was a pioneering figure in the women's rights movement and women's peace movement in Switzerland. Marie founded the first ever international women's organization called "Association internationale des femmes (IAW)" in 1868. Marie founded the IAW mainly because after attending the congress for the newly founded International League for Peace and Freedom (ILPF) in Geneva, she was disappointed at the lack of female participation. Goegg-Pouchoulin has contributed greatly to the women's rights movement and has spoken at various congresses about women's rights. In fact, it was at the 1868 ILPF Congress in Bern, where the first meeting of the IAW occurred. This meeting was the first international collaboration of women's rights groups, and it brought together individuals who worked for women's access to education, access to public sphere and abolition of regulated prostitution. Unfortunately, in 1871, the IAW was discredited due to its affiliation with the Paris Commune, the French revolutionary government that seized power from Paris. As a result, Marie Goegg-Pouchoulin stepped down from her position. However, she still focused on women's rights within Switzerland. In 1872, she founded the Association pour la défense de la Femme av droit (Solidarité), where she worked alongside another pioneer of the Swiss women's rights movement, Julie von May (von Rued). Through this organization, a campaign initiated by Goegg-Pouchoulin, allowed women to be given access to the University of Geneva. All in all, Marie's contributions to the women's rights movement are worth discussing. Her legacy as such a pioneering figure inspired many as she was the central figure in the fight for equal women's rights and better education for Swiss. Marie worked tirelessly for peace, freedom and equality and took care of her three sons alone! That is admirability.
