IF NOT:
(from wiki)
Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC, FRS (née Roberts, 13 October 1925 – 8 April 2013) was a British politician who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and the Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is the only woman to have held the office. A Soviet journalist called her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies that have come to be known asThatcherism.
This woman has accomplished alot, a pioneer and great role model for the generations of women to come after her. She is well versed in the scientific world (was a chemist) and knew the ways of the law (barrister). What she was known for was her silver tongue and drive as MP in the British Parliament.
Thatcher came from a background where her father was in politics (mayor of her town). He was a big influence on her style.
"Of course I just owe almost everything to my father. He brought me up to believe almost all the things I do believe."
Not only did she have a family life (twins) but also kept preserving in her dreams of being in parliament despite loosing many times. She was not afraid to create WAVES and proudly wore her nickname of IRON LADY.
"Loved or loathed, Thatcher's personal accomplishments will remain part of world history"

Looking at her most memorable QUOTES you will see how Margaret was STRONG, IRON WILLED and not to be trifled with:
"If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman." 1965 speech
"Defeat? I do not recognize the meaning of the word." April 1982, start of the Falklands War
"I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end." April 4, 1989, in the Observer
