Golda Meir - Israel - 1969: Meir was an Israeli teacher, kibbutznik and politician who became the fourth Prime Minister of Israel. Israel&#x27;s first and the world&#x27;s third woman to hold such an office, she was described as the &quot;Iron Lady&quot; of Israeli politics years before the epithet became associated with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion used to call Meir &quot;the best man in the government.&quot; #womens #history #powerful #jewish #women
