Golda Meir: Israel's Matriarch, by Deborah E. Lipstadt

Facilitated by Diane Wulfsohn

Golda Meir: Israel's Matriarch is a balanced biography of Golda Meir, who was both adored and abhorred, from award-winning author Deborah E. Lipstadt.

Golda Meir (1898–1978) was the first and only woman to serve as prime minister of Israel. She was born in Kiev into a childhood of poverty, hunger, and antisemitism. When she was five, her father left to find work in America, and a year later the family settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a teenager she became devoted to Labor Zionism, giving street-corner speeches, and her family’s home became a destination for Zionist emissaries. Her love for Labor Zionism was so fervent that her boyfriend, Morris Meyerson (her future husband), was often in competition with her dedication to the cause.
