October 1944 CE

Goldie Mabovitch (who, as Golda Meir, will become the fourth prime minister of the State of Israel) has emerged as a forceful spokesperson for the Zionist cause in negotiating with the British mandatory authorities during the war.

Goldie's family had emigrated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1906, where she attended the Milwaukee Normal School (now University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) and later became a leader in the Milwaukee Labor Zionist Party.

In 1921, she and her husband, Morris Myerson, had emigrated to Palestine and joined the MerPavya kibbutz.

She became the kibbutz's representative to the Histadrut, the secretary of that organization's Women's Labor Council, and a member of its executive committee.
