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 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.
