In 1921, Golda emigrated to Israel with her husband Morris Meyerson and soon became involved in political and social affairs. As head of the State Department of the Jewish Agency, she was the principal figure in negotiations held with the British. Golda Meir was the first Ambassador of Israel to the Soviet Union. In 1949, she was appointed as Minister of Labor in Israel and she worked diligently to build the country and encourage further aliya. In 1956, she was appointed Foreign Minister and held the post for nine years. In February 1969, Golda Meir became the fourth Prime Minister of Israel. She resigned after the Yom Kippur War, in 1974.
