Life
Brändle grew up in Upper Toggenburg . After completing her German studies , she worked as a culture editor and journalist for the Zürcher Tages-Anzeiger . She also helped to publish the brochure Die Sprache ist nicht Mann, Madame of the women's group of the Swiss Union of Journalists (SJU, today: comedia ) in 1984, because equal rights for women was important to her. She later started her own business as a freelance writer. Together with the historian Mario König , she created a scientifically sound work biography on Alfred Huggenberger on behalf of the Thurgau government in 2012 . For many years she wrote regularly for WOZ Die Wochenzeitung in Zurich. "In 1992, she published a report in WoZ about a group of savages from Tierra del Fuego , five of whom had died miserably in the context of a Völkerschau in Zurich Fluntern in 1882. This was new territory for Switzerland." In 2006 Brändle helped out in the culture department there.
