Louise (Lux) Guyer,[3] the first Swiss women architect, was the chief organizator, and she completed the buildings in only three months using prefabricated elements made of wood.
From 17 July until 15 September 1958, the BSF led the second Saffa in Zürich, with over a hundred national and cantonal women's organisations on the Landiwiese in Zürich-Wollishofen.
In accordance with the economic and sociopolitical needs, SAFFA promoted the then radical three-phase model as an 'ideal female curriculum': employment prior to the marriage, motherhood, and return to the labour market.
The Saffa 1958 was marked by the upcoming vote to women's suffrage, thus the promoters did not practice an overly combative appearance and even created a "men paradise" (Männerparadies) department.
The Internet platform frauennet.ch proposed the decision to organise a third SAFFA on the occasion of their women picnic brunches on the Swiss national holiday on the Saffa-Island in Zürich.
Alliance F, as before better known as Bund Schweizerischer Frauenvereine (BFS), prepares a third Saffa, founded the "2020" association for this purpose, and initiated the project "2020 – der weibliche blick auf die zukunft" (literally: 2020 – the female looks to the future).
