Do women vote in Switzerland?

I know it sounds stupid, but a friend of mine told me women do not have the right to vote in Switzerland. Can this be true? Please only answer if you know and state how you know it.

Yes, since 1971 (!) at the federal level, and since 1990 (!!!) at the local level for some cantons...

Of course they do. Maybe your friend got confused and meant Swaziland, which is in Africa, I don't believe women vote there.
