Paulette Brupbacher

She was the second wife of Fritz Brupbacher, who wrote the preface for her Russian-to-French translation of Bakunin's Confession, which was published in Paris in 1932.

[2] Combining her work as a doctor with political activism, she fought for sexual liberation, contraception, the right to abortion, and the emancipation of women.

[1] She was banned from public speaking in 1937 for giving a lecture on birth control in Solothurn.

[3] In September 1948, she published an article in La Révolution prolétarienne, "La littérature russe d’aujourd’hui" ("Russian literature today"), denouncing the servility of Russian writers towards the Stalinist regime.

In 1952, she went to spend several years in a kibbutz[1] in Tel Aviv and wrote Meine Patientinnen (1953) et Hygiene für Jedermann (1955).
