• W1580150659 abstract "DURING THE YEARS 1946-66, Scandinavian women made impressive contributions to efforts at the United Nations in behalf of women's equality. These endeavors were carried forward mainly by those who were delegates to the General Assembly and members of the Commission on the Stares of Women. Neglected in what has been published in English about women's equality initiatives at the early UN, their actions are the subject of this account. The role of Denmark's Bodil Begtrup in creating a United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in 1946 and in influencing the content of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1947-48 is the initial focus. Thereafter particular attention is given to the efforts of the Scandinavian women who served as delegates to the UN General Assembly (UNGA) commencing in 1946 and to those who held the Scandinavian seat on the CSW 194-7-69. Those who were UNGA delegates often presented joint positions, just as their predecessors at the League of Nations Assembly had done. Long historical and linguistic ties among the Scandinavian countries as well as similar political structures and a desire to enhance their strength in the UN underlay this cooperation. That social democrats usually formed the Danish governments and headed an unbroken chain of Swedish and Norwegian governments well into the 1960S and '70s contributed to the similarity of their policy positions at the UN. This fact also helps explain the relatively long periods of service by their women appointees to the early UNGA sessions and the level of experience which they thereby attained. As had been the case at the League, Scandinavian foreign ministers consulted with each other about their policies at meetings held before and during UNGA sessions.(1) As long as they were kept informed, they placed no obstacles in the way of consultation among their women delegates. That these women were leaders in women's organizations for which inter-Scandinavian meetings were held contributed to ready agreement among them.(2) They also desired to uphold the international reputation for advanced conditions for women their countries had attained. Coeducation, access to most kinds of employment, the right of suffrage, regulated hours and safety conditions at work places, enlightened marriage legislation, and inheritance rights for the children of unmarried as well as married mothers were among the steps in the advancement of women achieved as early as the 1920S. The social democratic governments of recent years had helped bring about further social and economic improvements for women. All three Scandinavian women delegates to the first sessions of the UNGA--Bodil Begtrup (Denmark), Aase Lionaes (Norway), Ulla Lindstrom (Sweden)--were feminists, who had been involved in political efforts to achieve equality for women in their homelands since the 1930S. The political careers of Lionaes and Lindstrom were well anchored in the social democratic movement, whereas Begtrup had swung into that political camp in 1939. Begtrup had been a delegate to the League of Nations Assembly in 1938-39 and an officer since 1931 in Danske Kvinders Nationalrad (Danish National Women's Council, or DKN), an affiliate of the International Council of Women (ICW), which engaged in lobbying at the League in behalf of women's interests.(3) This background of League experience helped make her the leading Scandinavian woman at the first UNGA meetings. After graduating in political science from the University of Copenhagen in 1929, Bodil Begtrup (1903-87) had attended League Assembly sessions as an assistant to Henni Forchhammer, the sole woman member of the Danish delegation since 1920, and became her successor in 1938. Although Forchhammer and Begtrup had sat, as did most of the handful of women delegates, in the committee that dealt with social questions, they could not ignore the deteriorating international political scene as the League-sponsored Disarmament Conference (1932) failed and the fascist powers took aggressive steps. …" @default.
