Timeline
Gabrielle Nanchen is a Swiss politician and author.
Gabrielle Stragiotti was born on 31 March 1943 in Aigle, Switzerland, in the Canton of Vaud.
Her father was of Italian descent while her mother was of French descent.
She graduated from the University of Lausanne with a degree in social science.
Her home canton of Vaud granted women's suffrage in 1959; but Valais would not grant the right to vote to women until 1970.
In 1967, she married Maurice Nanchen and the couple settled in Maurice's home town of Icogne in the Canton of Valais.
Nanchen became active in politics in part because she lost the right to vote when she moved to Valais.
In 1971, she became one of the first 10 women elected to the National Council of Switzerland, serving in that body until 1979.
She was a member of the Social Democratic Party of Switzerland.
Since leaving office, she has written books on her personal pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela and Africa.
After Switzerland granted women the right to vote and stand for office in a referendum in 1971, the Social Democratic Party added her to its party list for National Council.
She won election that year and became one of the first 10 women to serve in the Parliament of Switzerland.
In 1977, she ran for the Council of State of Valais, the canton's executive body, seeking to become the first woman elected to a cantonal executive.
The Valais constitution prohibited the election of members from the same district.
In this case, Nanchen and Antoine Zufferey, a member of the Christian Democratic People's Party of Switzerland, were both from the Sierre District.
While both Nanchen and Zufferey captured enough votes for election to the council, Zufferey finished ahead between the two, with Nanchen finishing fifth.
He was elected and Nanchen was passed over in favor of Arthur Bender.
She resigned from the National Council in 1979 after her third child was born.
In 1980, she became a Vice President of the Federal Commission for Women's Issues and President of the Valais Association of Femmes - Rencontres - Travail (Women - Meetings - Work).
She was defeated in 1983 Swiss federal election in a run for the Council of States.
Since her last run for office, Nanchen has served as a delegate to the Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid and the Council of Europe.
She was a member of the International Committee of the Red Cross and was the president of the Swissaid Foundation Board.
She also became an author, publishing five books.
