| book description |

â€˜We canâ€™t do a zigzag,â€™ Golda Meir insisted as she drove Israelâ€™s 1948 Declaration of Independence through, gaining a bare majority of 6 to 4 in the provisional government. Two decades later, in 1969, she would interrupt her retirement to become the first female leader in the West and earn her nickname, â€˜The Iron Lady,â€™ as Prime Minister of Israel. Who was this remarkable woman and leader? This gripping biography traces Golda Meirâ€™s life from her escape from a Russian pogrom in 1906 to her decisive influence on Israel â€” often at a hidden cost to her personal life. Full of behind-the-scenes insights â€” including the 1972 Olympics attacks â€” and choice quotes, Golda Meir is a spell-binding portrait of the woman and the early State of Israel.
