Biography

Born in kibbutz Merhavia during the Mandate era, Sartani studied at the educational institute Mishmar HaEmek, before attending the Oranim teachers seminary. She later studied sociology and political science at Tel Aviv University.

A member of the Executive Committee of Kibbutz Artzi, Sartani was also a member of Mapam, and joined the party's central committee in 1974. She headed the party's Women's Department and the Mapam delegation to the Na'amat women's organisation from 1976 until 1984, and from 1978 until 1982 she was also a member of the Histadrut's Executive Committee.[1]

In 1984 she was elected to the Knesset on the Alignment list (an alliance of Mapam and the Labor Party, although Mapam broke away from the Alignment shortly after the election). Until losing her seat in the 1988 elections, she was a member of the Education and Culture Committee.
