'A small room in Kibbutz Merhavia, which until recently served as a beauty clinic for kibbutz women, was once home to Israel's first woman prime minister, Golda Meir. Not long ago, cosmeticians conceded the room to historians who renovated and refurbished it in the style of the 1920s when Golda lived there. It will soon be opened to visitors seeking to learn a little about that period and the severe austerity that prevailed in the Meir household.

"Visitors will learn the story of Golda Meir's life in Merhavia," explains Dr. Doron Mor, director of the kibbutz visitors center, "and will see how the woman who became prime minister lived. It was a very modest life, in a room measuring six square meters (65 square feet) with a bed, wall hooks for hanging clothes, a table, chair, small desk lamp, and gramophone."

The gramophone, it turns out, was the Meir family's entry ticket into the kibbutz.'>>>
