28 women elected to Knesset -- a number that keeps going DOWN

As of now, 28 women made it into this Knesset, 1 less than the previous Knesset, and 7 less than the Knesset before that. Of those 28, 2 are Arab, 1 is Druze, 1 is Ethiopian, and 1 is haredi.
While many great women didn't make it, and while these numbers are troubling (and there are NO women in the Blue-White coalition negotiations), and while I am extremely concerned that none of the parties had gender equality up front in their platforms, despite all that, there are still some interesting women on this list:
