Description: Golda Meir is best remembered as the tough but grandmotherly fourth Prime Minister of Israel - the role that culminated her lifetime of service to the State. A Woman Called Golda, a drama starring Ingrid Bergman, tells what came before, chronicling a life that parallels Israel's early years. In a visit to the Milwaukee school where she was valedictorian, a retired Golda recalls how, as a child during the pogroms of Russia, she clutched at the idea of a Jewish homeland in Israel. She held onto this dream even after her family found safety and opportunity in the United States. Golda moved to Palestine to pursue life as a kibbutznik, but became caught up in the whirlwind of politics and war that forged the State. A Woman Called Golda portrays a courageous feminist who accomplished as much through irrepressible charm as keen intelligence.
