I have no doubt that once peace is attained in the Middle East, the struggle for the advancement of women and their equality will assume a high prior… - Yael Dayan

If we really can advance towards peace, I see this as a springboard for other changes. Peace and war are irreversible, but other things are less absolute. Since we don’t have a constitution, if there is a change in the law it can be undone later. So it wouldn’t bother me to go along on some concessions and then in better times, say, try and change them. If there is peace, a lot of wrongs will be corrected.

We have not yet produced a universal literature in Israel, which doesn't detract from its quality...We are still in a localized phase, reflecting what is happening to us now, a mirror of reality.

For all the progress that has been made, the same old hypocritical notions are still used to fight gender equality.
