Women Warriors of the IDF (Season 8 Episode 13)

About this episode

The episode discusses the roles and challenges faced by women in the IDF and the varying support they receive.

Who are the women who fight for Israel? What are their challenges? Should they be welcome to every position? They garner tremendous support -- but not from everyone (why not?!). Shoshanna and Anne address these questions and more. Music: "Misery" by The Whips
