She resigned when she had seemed likely to be the country's first female president; Mrs. Kopp was one of the more left-leaning members of the conservative Radical Democratic Party, known for her work on environmental issues as well as for advancing women's causes; her election was an important moment in the push for women's equality in Switzerland, a country that had lagged behind most of Europe in that area) |
