Ursula Mauch (née Widmer; born 29 March 1935) is a Swiss chemist, educator and politician who served on the National Council (Switzerland) from 1979 to 1995.[1] She was the first female member to represent the Canton of Aargau constituency. She previously served on the Grand Council of Aargau from 1974 to 1980 for the Social Democratic Party. She is the mother of Corine Mauch, who currently serves as Mayor of Zurich.
Mauch was born 29 March 1935 in Oftringen, Switzerland to Ernst Widmer, a butcher, and Margaritha Widmer.[2] Her younger brother, Hans Widmer (b. 1940), became an industrialist who served as chief executive officer and chairman of Oerlikon-Bührle.[3][4] Mauch initially completed the École du Commerce in Neuchatel, followed by a diploma in chemistry at Technikum Winterthur (today Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Winterthur).[5]
