The position dates back to 1541 when it was created by John Calvin, but Graessl\u00e9, after 460 years, was the first woman to occupy it.[2]   In 2004 she was appointed the first director of the International Reformation Museum which opened the next year in Geneva, but she resigned the post in 2016.  It was indicated that her departure followed disagreement about levels of funding.[1][3]The time she spent studying in Ohio was important in the development of a feminist context for Isabelle Graessl\u00e9’s academic and pastoral work.“The United States enabled me to discover that an impressive number of women have impacted the history of Christianity, but then been ignored in subsequent historical research”.[4]“Les \u00c9tats-Unis m\u2019ont permis … de d\u00e9couvrir qu\u2019un nombre impressionnant de femmes ont jalonn\u00e9 l\u2019histoire du christianisme et qu\u2019elles avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 pass\u00e9es sous silence dans les recherches ant\u00e9rieures.”Isabelle Graessl\u00e9 was born in Strasbourg.   She was her parents’ only child.[4]   On successful completion of her school studies she went on to undertake the “Grandes \u00c9coles” preparation course.   She studied Philology at Strasbourg, and then Theology at both Geneva and the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio from where she obtained a Master of Divinity qualification.[5]   Her doctorate, from the Protestant Theology Faculty at Strasbourg followed in 1988.   She was supervised for her dissertation by Gilbert Vincent.   Her topic was “Elements for a Rhetoric of Preaching:  Readings of Athanase Josu\u00e9 Coquerel” (“\u00c9l\u00e9ments pour une rh\u00e9torique de la pr\u00e9dication:  Lectures d’Athanase Coquerel“).[6]   Her habilitation, obtained from the University of Bern in 2004, opened the way, potentially, to a lifelong university professorial career.[1]Meanwhile, in 1987 Graessl\u00e9 became a part-time pastor at the Protestant chaplaincy to the University of Geneva and director of the Centre for Protestant Studies.[1]   Between 1995 and 2002, within the curriculum at the Centre she taught Gender Studies at Geneva and, on the north shore, at Lausanne.[4]   The course she taught was entitled simply “Women and Religion” which enabled her to address a range of religious traditions that varied over the years, but always from the same starting points:  discerning an ambivalent relationship between women and religion, the balance of tensions created within religious institutions by the new challenges presented by women’s emancipation, and finally the preconception of a specific link between female sexuality and the prohibition on priesthood.   It is apparent that there were some at the university who viewed Graessl\u00e9’s approach with disfavour.[4]In 1998 she became vice-president of the “college” of ministers and deacons at the Protestant Church of Geneva.   Three years later, in August 2001, she was elected moderator – effectively leader – of the institution.[4]   Her electors were aware that “Business as usual” was not on her the agenda.   In an interview with the Tribune de Gen\u00e8ve she explained:  “I told them clearly that I was not going to be their Am\u00e9lie Poulain.  I was determined to separate myself from this idea of the maternal woman, which was still embedded in the collective spirit.   I was there to take a lead, support, encourage and indeed admonish all these ministers.  Be assured that this task has not always been so simple”.[7]“On a beautiful Sunday in October, during my final year as moderator, when we unveiled the name of Marie Denti\u00e8re on the Reformation Wall in Geneva, it was a victory over amnesia, contempt and envy!  This great literary scholar of the sixteenth century, with her astonishing career and hardened character, whose reputation had been at best neglected and at wost traduced, was at last rehabilitated.  An American university has even just published her output translated into English”.[4]“Lorsqu\u2019en 2003, derni\u00e8re ann\u00e9e de ma mod\u00e9rature, en un beau dimanche d\u2019octobre, nous avons d\u00e9voil\u00e9 le nom de Marie Denti\u00e8re devant le Mur des R\u00e9formateurs \u00e0 Gen\u00e8ve, c\u2019\u00e9tait une victoire sur l\u2019oubli, le m\u00e9pris, l\u2019envie aussi\u00a0! Cette grande lettr\u00e9e du XVIe si\u00e8cle, au parcours \u00e9tonnant et au caract\u00e8re bien tremp\u00e9, dont la r\u00e9putation avait \u00e9t\u00e9 au mieux n\u00e9glig\u00e9e, au pire salie par des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations enti\u00e8res, \u00e9tait enfin r\u00e9habilit\u00e9e. Une universitaire am\u00e9ricaine vient m\u00eame de publier son \u0153uvre en anglais.”After finishing her three years duty as moderator, she accepted the position as director of the new International Reformation Museum.   The offer was timely, coming soon after her habilitation, and six months after her application for a full professorship with the Theology Faculty at the University of Geneva, where she taught, had been turned down.   Twenty years as a pastor and university teacher had provided an excellent apprenticeship for the important museum job.[4]   She resigned unexpectedly, after ten years, in February 2016.[3]Marie Denti\u00e8re[edit]Graessl\u00e9 is also known for having demonstrated the key contribution of Marie Denti\u00e8re to the Reformation in Geneva.   It was in response to Graessl\u00e9’s advocacy that Denti\u00e8re’s name was added to those of the men commemorated on the Reformation Wall monument in the grounds of the University, built into the old city walls.[8]Output (selection)[edit]La rh\u00e9torique entre bonne et mauvaise foi, Perspectives missionnaires No.\u00a018, 1989, p.\u00a038-57.[9]Reflections on European Feminist Theology, in Women’s Visions.
