“The Only Woman in the Room: Golda Meir and Her Path to Power”
In this authoritative and empathetic biography, Pnina Lahav reexamines the life of Golda Meir (1898-1978) through a feminist lens, focusing on her recurring role as a woman standing alone among men. “The Only Woman in the Room” is the first book to contend with Meir’s full identity as a woman, Jew, Zionist leader, and one of the founders of Israel, proving a richer portrait of her persona and legacy. Our panelists will explore many aspects of this new account of the remarkable career of one of the twentieth century’s most intriguing figures.
