About: Olga Hankin
Olga Hankin (or Khankin, Hebrew: אוֹלְגָּה חַנְקִין, 9 January 1852 - 21 April 1943) was a feminist, professional midwife and Zionist activist who, together with her husband, Yehoshua Hankin, was responsible for most of the major land purchases of the Zionist Organization in Ottoman Palestine and Mandatory Palestine.
