Description

Golda Meir was a woman of many roles: immigrant, Zionist, feminist, and wartime prime minister of Israel. Her life was marked by courage and unrelenting commitment to the founding and survival of a Jewish state. This biography, Lioness, superbly captures her story, revealing the complexities and contradictions of a woman who was both fiery and plainspoken, passionate and pragmatic. Born in Russia in 1898, Golda Meir immigrated to America in 1906 and grew up in Milwaukee, where she developed a strong sense of politics and organization. Her journey took her to mandatory Palestine in 1921, where she became involved in the Zionist movement and eventually met the man who would become her great love. As she navigated the complexities of her life, Golda's political career took off, marked by her tireless fundraising, secret meetings, and passionate advocacy for the welfare and security of Israel and its people. Through her life, Golda Meir embodied the contradictions of a woman who was both strong and vulnerable, driven and compassionate. This biography offers a nuanced and compelling portrait of a woman who was at the forefront of one of the most pivotal moments in modern history.
