Golda Meir reflected the image of a triumphant Israel in the days when the triumph became fashionably suspect. Personally she reflected that image perfectly, from her sensible shoes, frumpy dresses, swollen ankles and old fashioned handbag – she made people forget that the same grandmother who made food readily available also shamefully manipulated you into obedience. She is still seen as a selfless old lady who worked into her eighties to defend the Jewish homeland.
