Alexandra Sidorovici

Alexandra Sidorovici (6 July 1906 – 25 August 2000) was a Romanian politician. A prominent communist, she was one of the first group of women elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1946.

Biography Sidorovici was born in 1906 in Constanța in a well-to-do family. Her brother, Teofil, served as a cabinet minister in 1940 before committing suicide. One of her ancestors was British, and she spoke perfect English. In this position, which she held until 1946, she participated in trials of the Romanian political and cultural elite. In May and June 1945 she, Constantin Vicol, Ion D. Ioan and Avram Bunaciu prosecuted a dozen prominent journalists, including Pan M. Vizirescu, , Stelian Popescu, Nichifor Crainic, and Radu Gyr.

In the 1946 general elections she was among the first group of women elected to the Chamber of Deputies. In early 1948, she worked on the merger of the Communist Party (PCR) with the Social Democratic Party (PSDR), to form the Romanian Workers' Party (PMR).

Starting in 1955 she accompanied Brucan to the United States, where he was first appointed ambassador of Romania to the United States, and then ambassador to the United Nations from 1959 to 1962. She used the experience as the basis of a book that she co-authored with Brucan (a virulent attack on American institutions).
