German term
Frauenstimmen. Stimmen Frauen?
2003 brachte die SGBK Bern das Votum ein, für die Direktion der Kunsthalle Bern endlich eine Frau zu wählen. Dies wurde 2015 mit Valérie Knoll Wirklichkeit.
Die erste Sektionsausstellung im Jahr 2021 hat den Titel «Frauenstimmen. Stimmen Frauen?». Sie findet in Olten in der Galerie des Kunstvereins Olten statt
How would you translate the title of the exhibition so that it has the same artistic effect in English as in German?
I can only think of "Women's voice. Do women vote?" or "Women's voice. Do women have a voice?" but the first variant is not expressive at all while the second variant does not include the word "vote".
Thank you!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

When this came up in Switzerland, surprisingly a lot of women were against it and having lived in la belle suisse I know the way the system works.
