Margaret (Margarita) Chant-Papandreou (born September 30, 1923) is a Greek-American activist and former First Lady of Greece, second wife of Andreas Papandreou and mother of George Papandreou.

She is an important participant in the struggle for women's rights, as she played a leading role in the creation, elaboration and promotion of laws that greatly improved the legal and social position of Greek women, such as the abolition of the dowry institution (1982),[1] the legalization of abortion (1986),[2] the establishment of civil marriage (1982),[2] the legalization of divorce by mutual consent, the possibility of women retaining their surnames after their marriage and obtaining equal rights with the husband in the custody of their children.[1]

Biography

She was born on September 30, 1923 in Oak Park, Illinois. The family later moved to Elmhurst, Illinois. Her father's parents were from England and her mother's were from Switzerland. She met Andreas Papandreou in 1948 and they married in 1951. They initially lived in Minnesota and later in California, where Andreas Papandreou was Chair of the Department of Economics at Berkeley University.[3][4]

With Andreas Papandreou they had four children, George, Sofia, Nikos and Andrikos Papandreou.[5]

In 1989, Margaret agreed to grant a divorce so that Andreas Papandreou could marry Dimitra Liani.[6][7]

She turned 100 on September 30, 2023.[8]

Lagarde list

In December 2012, the newspapers To Vima and Proto Thema claimed in their publications that Margarita Papandreou owned one of the accounts on the Lagarde list.[9]

On October 14, 2014, Economic Crimes Enforcement Agency (SDOE) officially responded with a letter to Margarita Papandreou that, following an investigation carried out, in the context of a lawsuit filed by M. Papandreou, her name is not included in the Lagarde list. The document is signed by the special secretary of SDOE Stylianos Stasinopoulos.[10]
