Margaret Thatcher - The Iron Lady is the biography of Margaret
Thatcher, a former British politician who served as Prime Minister
of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and leader of the
Conservative Party from 1975 until 1990. She is the first and only
woman to hold either post. Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister
was the longest since that of Lord Salisbury and was the longest
continuous period in office since the tenure of Lord Liverpool who
was Prime Minister in the early 19th century. She was the first
woman to lead a major political party in the UK, and the first of
only three women to have held any of the four great offices of
state. Thatcher has remained active in the politics of the United
Kingdom, as well as the world. Margaret Thatcher - The Iron Lady is
highly recommended for those interested in the life of this popular
British politician.
