Dafna was Professor of Sociology and former Chair of the

endowed in the name of her parents. The Bar Ilan
Program, which she organized, is the only M.A./Ph.D.

Dafna was born in France on September 9, 1937, and
grew up in Montreal, Canada, where she completed her
B.A. in political science and philosophy and her M.S.W.
in social work, both at McGill University. She continued
her graduate studies in political science and Hebrew

England, where she received her Ph.D. degree in
1972. She spent a post doctoral year at the University of
California, Berkeley, and was a visiting professor at New

Frontiers: Women Managers in a Global Economy,
(Blackwell, 1994) and Sex Gender Politics: Women in
Israel (Kibbutz Hameuchad, 1999, in Hebrew). She was
the author of numerous articles in professional journals
and encyclopedias on issues related to gender in
unions, work, family, social policy, and the Israeli military.
Her paper on Israel's first affirmative action law will be
published in Women's Studies International Forum.
Dafna was a long-time member of the American

Dafna worked tirelessly for peace, democracy, and
women's rights in Israel. She was a founding member of
the Israeli Women's Network, an activist organization that
has been fighting for women's equality in Israel for the
past 20 years. As a Vice-President of the New Israel
Fund, a progressive U.S.-Israeli organization working for
peace and democracy in Israel, and through many
projects and personal contacts, Dafna was personally and
professionally involved in bringing Palestinian and Jewish
women together and in efforts to bring about a just peace
in Israel.
In the last 20 years, she was advisor to many government
committees on the status of women in Israel. At the time
of her death, she was consultant to the sub-committee on
the Advancement of Women and Work and on the
Economy in the Knesset Standing Committee on
the Status of Women. She was also a founder and board
member of Legal Equity Action for Women in the
Workplace.
Dafna married Dov Izraeli in 1960 and emigrated to
Israel. Dov was professor of management studies at Tel
Aviv University, where he specialized in conflict
resolution. He died of a long-term illness on January 31,
2003. Dafna and Dov leave three children, Liora,
Sharona, and Chaim, 18 grandchildren, and 2 great
grandchildren.
They gave their friends and colleagues a legacy of
warmth and generosity, political activism, and engaged
scholarship.
