126 years have passed since the birth of Golda Meir on May 3. The most influential woman of the 20th century was born in Kyiv and became one of the founders of the state of Israel.
Meir was one of the most prominent figures in world politics for over 30 years. She became the Prime Minister of Israel during one of the most challenging periods in the country’s history.
Her famous quote: “you cannot negotiate peace with those who come to kill you”, remains relevant today. On the birthday of this outstanding woman, Love 24 recalls the story of her love.
What is known about Meir’s marriage to Meerson
Golda started working at an early age to provide for herself and begin her career. Her mother, however, preferred to see her as a homemaker and did not believe in her ability to become a successful woman. Nevertheless, Golda was confident in her abilities and was not going to give up on her love. She married Morris Meerson, who shared her views on life.
Instead of a luxurious dress, the bride chose a modest gray suit, and guests were offered modest refreshments. After the wedding, the couple emigrated to Palestine, where they lived in a commune with shared property and responsibilities. Although this was Golda’s dream, Morris found it difficult to adapt, and they eventually moved.
Biographers note that Morris shared Golda’s views but could not cope with her passion. Despite the difficulties in their relationship, the couple had two children: a son, Menachem, who became a famous musician, and a daughter, Sarah. Golda was a wonderful mother to her children. Eventually, after many years together, Golda and Morris separated but did not officially divorce. Golda felt guilty after her husband’s death.
