If the federal court didn't interfere, women would still not be allowed to vote on the cantonal level.

Quote:

Canton residents as well as Swiss citizens over the age of 18 with an established residence are eligible to vote. Since 1991 the voting card has served as authorisation to participate in the assembly. Men, however, are still allowed to present a bayonet – a sword that was generally passed down from generation to generation – which served as the only form of voting identification up until 1991. Women, who have only had the right to vote and be elected at the cantonal level in Appenzell Innerrhoden since 1991, simply carry their voting card with them. Speaking of voting rights for women: after the proposal of women's suffrage was rejected once again at the cantonal assembly in 1990, the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland came to the aid of women wanting to vote following the filing of a constitutional appeal.

I admire the people of Appenzell for rejecting almost every progressive federal law, be it a modified "modern" constitution, civil unions for homosexuals or easement of naturalizations, among others. Too bad they are outnumbered by the other cantons.
