The women who have led Hadassah are a dynamic group. They were leaders not just within Hadassah, but within the Jewish, Zionist, American, and women's communities as well. The following personal histories of each of our national presidents were edited from biographies developed by the Hadassah Speakers' Bureau and additional sources in the Hadassah Archives. The dates shown are the dates of their presidencies. You can view them online or print them out.
