Streit-Wurzel was born in Petach Tikva, Central District, in Mandatory Palestine. Her father, Shalom Streit, was an educator who founded Ahad Ha'am Gymnasium in Petach Tikvah.[1] She wrote her first book at age 12, in 1944, under the pen name Zvi Hadas, as she was too shy to credit herself with her work. She graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1952, with a degree in literature and psychology. Apart from writing, she was also an educator.[2]

Esther Streit-Wurzel died following a serious illness on 7 December 2013, aged 81, in Petach Tikva, Central District, Israel.[3] Her funeral took place the next day on 8 December and was attended by thousands. She was survived by her husband and three children.[4]

gollark: <@133885827523674112> *You* might not find it directly bad in that way. *Some* people do.Also, I think a few websites do change their prices a bit depending on gathered data from things.
gollark: It's not just the collection of data, it's the correlation/linking of it between many companies/websites/whatever.
gollark: - Price discrimination- Some people just directly dislike the data gathering as a privacy violation- In some cases: can be used by governments to stamp out dissent, etc- Data can often be leaked so random people have access to it too
gollark: It should also not collect other random data.
gollark: It was detected because they *also* run them with internet access, making it an obvious data leak vector.
