Avra Drakopoulou was born on 3 November 1880 in Edirne, Ottoman Empire, to Eleni and Aristomenis Drakopoulos, who was a consul official for Greece in Turkey.

[3] Theodoropoulous received the Andreas and Iphigeneia Syngros Silver Medal for her piano skill in 1910 and was appointed to teach music history and pianoforte at the conservatoire.

[4] In 1918, Theodoropoulous was one of the founders of Sister of the Soldier (Greek: Αδελφή του Στρατιώτη), an association created to address social issues caused by war and give women an active means to participate civically.

[5] The KSE ceased operations in 1922 [4] and Theodoropoulous turned her attention toward the Supervision Service and the National Shelter (Greek: Εθνική Στέγη), which were both organizations aimed at helping refugees from the Greco-Turkish War.

In 1923, Theodoropoulous launched the League’s journal Woman’s Struggle (Greek: Ο Αγώνας της Γυναίκας) and participated in the IWSA’s 9th conference held in Rome.

She became a board member of the IWSA and served until 1935 and from the contacts she made at the conference, established the Little Entente of Women (Greek: Μικρή Αντάντ Γυναικών) (LEW) which met in Bucharest later that year.

[10] She was extremely active in this period with international conferences and gained some success at home, when in 1930 educated Greek women were allowed the right to elect local officials.

The POG organized a conference held in May 1946 with 671 delegates coming together in Athens, but within months the Civil War erupted and Theodoropoulou resigned because she felt that the women's movement should be non-partisan.
