โWell-behaved women seldom makeย historyโ โ An evening with Golda Meir and Sophie Tucker
ย Do Laurel Thatcher Ulrichโs words which became a bumper sticker apply to a Prime Minister of Israel or the โlast of the red-hot mamasโ? Both of these Jewish Women, Golda Meir and Sophie Tucker certainly made history and neither of these iconic women could be classified as โwell-behavedโ in knowing their place as women in a male dominated society!
Golda Meir (May 3,1898 โ December 8, 1978) served her adopted country as Prime Minister from March 1969 through 1974. Sophie Tucker (January 13, 1886 โ February 9, 1966) thrilled international audiences with her then unique almost regal and at times suggestive singing such signature songs as Some of these daysโ and โYiddishe Mama.โ Among the songs that she discovered and established are โwhen the When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob Bobbinโ Alongโ, โThe lady is a trampโ โHard Hearted Hannahโ, โAfter Youโve Goneโ
Come spend an evening as we hear the words and voices of these two women whose lives shed light on two different vantage points of Jewish life and achievement of this past century.
