Milwaukee's Golden Star
It was a true delight to read this biography of Golda Meir. I've lived in Milwaukee for all but four of my 31 years of life, and I've never known much about this stellar woman. I was amazed to learn that she even fasted at age 5 as part of a protest! It was especially fun to read the Milwaukee references, including her family's arrival. When I read about her school...

Golda Meir, an example of courage, strength and compassion
This book about one of the great political leaders of the 20th century is one of the very few documented stories of Gold Meir that are currently in print - which is a great shame. However, thanks to Deborah Hitzeroth, the life and times of Golda Meir are available for young and old alike to read for themselves the remarkable stories about a person whom, in my view at...

Milwaukee's Golden Star,
By Bill Scobey-Polacheck (Glendale, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Golda Meir (Importance of) (Library Binding)
It was a true delight to read this biography of Golda Meir. I've lived in Milwaukee for all but four of my 31 years of life, and I've never known much about this stellar woman. I was amazed to learn that she even fasted at age 5 as part of a protest! It was especially fun to read the Milwaukee references, including her family's arrival. When I read about her school experiences, I pictured her at her elementary school (now called Golda Meir School) just north of downtown Milwaukee. No wonder it's now a school for gifted and talented children! The drama of Golda Meir's life makes for a powerful story, which Deborah Hitzeroth nicely captures and complements with photos, background info and Golda's own words. As cliche as it might sound, Golda's story is an example of the power of the human spirit to overcome obstacles and accompish amazing feats.
