meaning
Yelisaveta Alexejewna Popowa was a lawyer and trade unionist and, as the representative of her country, became a founding member of the UN Women's Rights Commission in 1947 , which made a significant contribution to the formulation of the UN Human Rights Charter. The discussions of the panel also reflected the ideological discussions of the Cold War . Popova was of the opinion that in the socialist-ruled countries the rights of women were already much better realized than in capitalism, which the representatives of Western states naturally saw differently.
