The newspaper Die Bürgerin appeared from 1916 to 1917 in Bern. It was published by the Action Committee for obtaining votes for women in municipal affairs and served as its official publication. The magazine, which was published at irregular intervals, also served as the platform for presentations and comments on the topic "the new municipal law and women". The theme of the final issue of October 5th 1917 was a petition by the Action Committee which called for the introduction of women's suffrage and was filed with the Bern Canton's Grand Council.
