I am wondering what would have happened to me if some fluent talker had converted me to the theory of the eight-hour day and convinced me that it was not fair to my fellow workers to put forth my best efforts in my work. I am glad that the eight-hour day had not been invented when I was a young man. If my life had been made up of eight-hour days, I do not believe I could have accomplished a great deal. This country would not amount to as much as it does if the young men of fifty years ago had been afraid that they might earn more than they were paid for. Thomas Alva Edison		Thursday Mar 19, 2026

Selected Quote
Women's Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It's the men who are discriminated against. They can't bear children. And no one's likely to do anything about that. Golda Meir

Golda Meir

Golda Meir

Golda Meir ( Hebrew: גולדה מאיר ‎, Arabic: جولدا مائير, born Goldie Mabovitch, May 3, 1898 - December 8, 1978, Golda Myerson from 1917-1956) was the fourth prime minister of the State of Israel.

After serving as the Minister of Labour and Foreign Minister, Golda Meir became Prime Minister of Israel on March 17, 1969. She was described as the "Iron Lady" of Israeli politics years before the epithet became associated with British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher. David Ben-Gurion, the nation's first Prime Minister, called her "the only man in the Cabinet." Meir was the first and to date only woman in Israel elected prime minister, and the world's third female prime minister.
