"The ultimate insider-she was the only prime minister to have held the state's two other key posts, labor minister and foreign minister-she was also an outsider: a woman reaching for the highest leadership roles in a male-dominated society, and émigré from the United States in an Eastern European-oriented culture. An opponent of the organized feminist movement, she became a worldwide icon for what women could achieve and a poster figure for feminism itself. ~ Lioness: Golda Meir and Nation of Isreal by Francine Klagsbrun
