Beatrix Mesmer-Strupp (2 June 1931, in Munich – 24 September 2015, in Bern) was a Swiss historian of German origin.
Around this time, Mesmer worked as an assistant editor for the Swiss Telegraphic Agency.
She became the Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in 1978, and from 1989 to 1992 was the first Vice Rector and in turn the first woman to be part of the University of Bern management.
In 1988 she published the literary work Frauen und Frauenorganisationen in der Schweiz des 19.
Both of these works had a significant impact on Swiss women's history,[1] although Mesmer never identified as a feminist.
[1] Mesmer had a hand in the development of the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland, where she was a member of the Foundation Council Committee.
