The Lady of the White City seeks to receive the image of the First Lady of Tel Aviv and disclose her full stature. Based on diverse rare authentic sources appearing for the first time after a hundred years and laced with anecdotes from the days of Little Tel Aviv, her image comes to life, and we become acquainted with a wonderful character we lost somewhere in the recesses of memory... The Lady of the White City seeks to revive the image of the First Lady of Tel Aviv and disclose her full stature. Based on diverse rare authentic sources appearing for the first time after a hundred years and laced with anecdotes from the days of Little Tel Aviv, her image comes to life, and we become acquainted with a wonderful character we lost somewhere in the recesses of memory... The French say, "Cherchez la femme," search for the woman, when they want to explain a man's conduct or achievements. For Zina Dizengoff, we did not have to search. She was right there at her husband's side all those years, notable for her beauty and nobility, leaving her distinct mark on the form and content of Tel Aviv as it emerged and developed. This is why it is so embarrassing, not to say outrageous, that for the hundred years of the first Hebrew city, Zina has not had a book written about her... With a steady and sensitive hand, the book draws a rich and multifaceted portrait of this magnificent lady and finally corrects a historical injustice. Ron Huldai, Mayor of Tel Aviv
