Margret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher, often referred to as the "Iron Lady," was the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, serving from 1979 to 1990. Her tenure, the longest of the 20th century, was defined by a radical economic shift toward privatization, deregulation, and the reduction of trade union power, known as Thatcherism. An uncompromising leader, she navigated the Falklands War and the final years of the Cold War, leaving a complex and enduring legacy on the global political landscape.
