Join HBI as we speak with Pnina Lahav, Professor of Law Emerita and winner of Israel’s Seltner Award and the Gratz College Centennial Book Award, about her remarkable “The Only Woman in the Room: Golda Meir and Her Path to Power” in which Lahav asks how a lone woman surrounded by men makes it to the top.

In this authoritative and empathetic biography, Lahav reexamines the life of Golda Meir through a feminist lens, focusing on her recurring role as a woman standing alone among men. “The Only Woman in the Room” is the first book to contend with Meir’s full identity as a woman, Jew, Zionist leader, and one of the founders of Israel, providing a richer portrait of her persona and legacy.
