Golda Meir: The Iron Lady of Israeli Politics With guest speaker Hana Werner

Golda Meir, a passionate Zionist, fought for an independent Jewish homeland. 50 years ago, she was elected Prime Minister, defying those men who frowned upon women in power. David Ben Gurion famously declared: "Golda is the only man in my cabinet." She remains an inspirational symbol of resolve and resilience.
