(Hebrew)〕 Preparations to the event led to his initiative documenting the lives and public actions of all female Knesset members.〔(An interview with Ben-Arie ) at the Hebrew University's weekly newspaper, December 2009. (Hebrew)〕 Over the years of writing his book, Ben-Arie has had personal contact with 70 of Israel's female MKs. His book was published on International Women's Day in 2011 and introduced to the public for the first time by Knesset member Tzipi Hotovely in a festive sitting of the parliamentary committee on the status of women. Alongside the life stories of all women to serve in the Israeli parliament in the years 1949-2011, a historical chapter includes a first of its kind listing of women who served in the Assembly of Representatives during the British Mandate for Palestine. It has been nominated for several awards at Yad Ben Zvi, Shazar Center for Jewish History and the Israeli Ministry of Culture and Sport. Ben-Arie lectures in Israel and abroad on women in Israeli politics. In December 2012 he led five sessions at the International Limmud Conference held at Warwick University〔 and in 2014 a new series of twelve lectures was issued, focusing on women members of the First Knesset.
