Honestly that's like citing the Scopes Monkey Trial to discredit the US on science as a whole.
Appenzell Innerrhoden is a tiny half-canton, 67 sq.mi, population ~16,000 or 0.2% of Switzerland (8.8m). Dayton, Tennessee (of Scopes Monkey Trial infamy) has a population of 7,000.
Women in Switzerland obtained the right to vote at federal level in 1971, and at local cantonal level between 1959 and 1972 [0][1], except for Appenzell.
