About This Quote

Margaret Thatcher was a British politician, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990. She is widely referred to as the “Iron Lady” and was one of the most influential and controversial figures of 20th century British politics. She is also known for the strength and tenacity she demonstrated in her time as Prime Minister. Her policies were often seen as ruthless, and she was only seen as a woman because she wanted to be one such example to all others. However, Thatcher’s policies were actually cruel and heartless towards the poor and needy people, who were living in poverty at that time.
