Margaret Thatcher

The Iron Lady of Conviction and Conflict

The lady who puts the 'no' in negotiation.

Call me what you will — Iron Lady, Thatcher, Maggie — none of it changes the facts. I see a nation weakened by dependency and I fix it. No sentiment, no surrender. I was born a grocer’s daughter, and I learned early that the price of principle is never too high. My hair is set, my handbag packed, and I will not be outworked by men who think I belong in a drawing room instead of Downing Street.

What I'm Into: The Queen’s uneasy silence, handbag diplomacy, Victorian values, crushing unions, tea, properly brewed
