Born in 1898, in Kiev, Russian Federation, I lived to the ripe old age of 80 years. In my 80 years I became a renowned figure in politics.

As a child, my family moved to Wisconsin, USA, where I excelled as a Grade A student and became Valedictorian of my class, despite English not being my first language. I was also involved in community projects from an early age and in 1917 I married and immigrated to the Middle East, to a country now known by a different name.

In 1948, I was one of 24 people to sign the Declaration of Independence for my new country, in establishing a State.

I was retired when I was chosen to lead my country as Prime Minister in 1969 and served for 5 years until 1974. I am most noted for my resilience and hard tactics, especially for what is known in history as Operation: Wrath of God.

The 1960’s was a great era for others like myself. It was in this decade that I and two other great leaders made history in becoming the First Female Prime Ministers of our countries.
