Renee Taylor in An Evening with Golda Meir! NEW! A video clip of Golda! Click here!
WHEN SHE WAS NAMED PRIME MINISTER SOME PARTY MEMBERS SAID LET GOLDA DO THE JOB UNTIL WE FIND THE RIGHT MAN. Against incredible, sometimes life-threatening obstacles, is the uplifting saga about a great woman of our times. Golda was born in Russia and grew up in Milwaukee, making speeches on street corners as a child to raise nickels and dimes for schoolmates who couldn’t afford books. She married a sign painter, moved to Israel and worked on a kibbutz plucking chickens. A mother of two children, she soon became Mayor of Tel Aviv, Minister of Labor, Ambassador to Russia, and she raised $50 million in the U.S. for The Six Day War. She was named Prime Minister because different factions in Israel said, “Golda is a seventy-year-old grandmother. Let her have the job until we find a man who is suitable.” Needless to say, she like Deborah, the great female judge in the Bible, proved to be the most suitable of all. |
