Pnina Lahav表示教授在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的陶布曼研讨会上发表讲话
The professor and law alumni scholar spoke about the life of Israel’s only female prime minister, Golda Meir.
Professor of Law and Law 校友 Scholar Pnina Lahav表示 recently presented a lecture as part of the 赫尔曼·P.和索菲亚·陶布曼捐赠研讨会在犹太新濠影汇线上赌场研究系列 at the University of California – Santa Barbara.
该系列研讨会于1997年在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校跨学科人文中心（IHC）开始。 赫尔曼·p·索非亚·陶布曼基金会捐赠了一笔资金，将杰出的领导人带到IHC。 这些知名人士将分享他们在犹太文化方面的学术新濠影汇线上赌场研究和经验。 之前的演讲者包括前波士顿大学教授Elie Wiesel。
Lahav’s lecture, titled “Golda Meir through the Feminist Lens,” explored the life of Israel’s first and only female prime minister. From Meir’s early beginnings to final acts, Lahav shared the narrative of a woman who broke preconceptions and changed the course of a country.
The talk centered around research for Lahav’s upcoming biography on the late leader, Golda Meir：透过性别镜头. Lahav examined how being a woman shaped Meir’s path.
Although Lahav’s talk engaged with a feminist perspective, Lahav acknowledged that Meir was not an active feminist. 对梅尔来说，努力应该集中在犹太社区的进步上。 一旦这项工作完成，那么精力就可以集中在性别平等上。
Lahav began with Meir’s early years, highlighting how social expectations invited Meir to assimilate into the American culture of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 她的新濠影汇网上赌场强迫她放弃高中学业，提前结婚。 拉哈夫记录了她的叛逆和她无视传统的方式。
在《贝尔福宣言》承认犹太人在巴勒斯坦拥有家园的权利后，梅尔和她的丈夫莫里斯前往巴勒斯坦。 There, she became an active member of the Labor Zionist movement and took on the Jewish cause as her “life project,” Lahav said.
This cause took precedence in Meir’s life, over both her marriage and her children.
Lahav explained how Zionist motivations continued to fuel Meir’s work in Israel. 作为第一个国家内阁的劳工部长，梅尔创建了社会保障体系和政府资助的产假。 她还成为西方世界第一位女外交部长。
“In March 1969, she was voted the fourth prime minister of Israel,” Lahav said. 在她的任期内，赎罪日战争（Yom Kippur War）带来的破坏，让梅尔这位曾经受人爱戴的人物遭遇了厌恶女性的敌意。 她的著名作品立即遭到批评。 这样的批评给他光明的公共服务事业蒙上了一层阴影。
It took decades for historians to revisit Meir’s contributions. Lahav concluded that Meir’s work brought progress to Israel, despite the adversity working against her. 拉哈夫对果尔达·梅厄的遗产提出了一个平衡的观点。
Professor Lahav’s scholarship focuses on constitutional law, gender matters, international and comparative law, jurisprudence, and legal history. Her biography of the Hon. Simon Agranat, 《耶路撒冷审判：首席大法官西蒙·阿格拉纳特与犹太复国主义世纪》, garnered Lahav the Seltner and Gratz College Centennial Book Award. 她曾获得波士顿大学法学院梅尔顿卓越教学奖，并获得以色列新濠影汇线上赌场研究所和以色列新濠影汇线上赌场研究协会颁发的终身成就奖。
