Listen "Bubby"
Episode Synopsis
She was called “the only man in the cabinet,” the Iron Lady of Israeli politics before that nickname ever reached London. From a childhood dodging pogroms in Kiev to signing Israel’s Declaration of Independence, Golda Meir’s journey was anything but ordinary. In this episode of Dave Does History, we dive into the life of the Milwaukee schoolteacher who became a stateswoman, fundraiser, wartime leader, and lightning rod for controversy. With grit, vision, and a famously stubborn streak, Golda Meir helped shape the modern State of Israel—and left a legacy as complex as the times she lived through.
