Biography

Born in Gomel, in the Mogilev Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Belarus), Drori was a member of the Youth of Zion and HeHalutz youth groups. She made aliyah to Mandatory Palestine in 1922, and joined Gdud HaAvoda. In 1924, she was amongst the founders of moshav Kfar Yehezkel. She became a member of the Working Mothers Organisation, and also joined Mapai. In 1937 she travelled to the United States as an emissary for Mapai and the Histadrut trade union.

In 1949, she was elected to the first Knesset on the Mapai list and was known as a formidable feminist.[1] However, she lost her seat in elections two years later. She later worked in immigrant absorption.
