Because it’s the only country where the majority of men voted to give women the right to vote. Also the French speaking cantons has women suffrage in 1959 already.
See my /r/askhistorians answer from a couple of years ago: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/70ucps/comment/dn6map3/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/70ucps/comment/dn6map3/)
These Swiss are the wisest people on Earth. Does that make them wise? Sadly, no.
Short answer: conservatism
Because in switzerland, 51% of the men had to vote in favor of that change. The other countries’ governments could just decide that change on its own.
Because it’s a majority vote and until then the majority of men didn’t want it to happen.
