Driven from their native Russia by pogroms, the Mabovitch family settled in Milwaukee, where Golda emerged as a lively young woman with a single-minded commitment to Socialist-Zionism. In 1921, that commitment led her and her husband, Morris Meyerson , to Palestine where she found her life's work.
For Golda, the years up to 1948 were marked by great happiness for the birth of Israel, and personal sadness when her marriage broke up. Written by HAROLD GAST and STEPHEN GETHERS
