Golda Meir人物介绍

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Golda Meir ( earlier Golda Meyerson, born Golda Mabovitch; 3 May 1898 – 8 December 1978) was a teacher, kibbutznik and politician who became the fourth Prime Minister of the State of Israel.

Meir was elected Prime Minister of Israel on 17 March 1969, after serving as Minister of Labour and Foreign Minister. Israel\'s first and the world\'s third woman to hold such an office, she was described as the \"Iron Lady\" of Israeli politics years before the epithet became associated with British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Former prime minister David Ben-Gurion used to call Meir \"the best man in the government\"; she was often portrayed as the \"strong-willed, straight-talking, grey-bunned grandmother of the Jewish people.\" Description above from the Wikipedia article Golda Meir, licensed under CC-BY-SA,full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
