A chairwoman of Liberal Women's Organization, she was elected to the Knesset in 1977 on Likud's list. Re-elected in 1981, she was appointed Minister without Portfolio by Menachem Begin on 5 July 1983. She remained a cabinet member when Yitzhak Shamir formed a new government in October 1983.
Although Doron retained her seat in the 1984 elections, she was left out of the national unity government cabinet. She was re-elected again in 1988, but lost her seat in the 1992 elections.
Doron died on 2 November 2010 at the age of 88.
