Margaret Thatcher was a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990, making her the first woman to hold that office.

Known as the “Iron Lady” for her uncompromising leadership style, Thatcher was a staunch advocate of free-market policies, deregulation, and privatization. She implemented economic reforms that became known as Thatcherism, aiming to revitalize the British economy. Thatcher’s tenure saw significant social and political changes, including the confrontation of trade unions, the Falklands War, and a close relationship with the United States.

While admired by many for her strong leadership and determination, Thatcher was also a divisive figure, criticized for policies that many felt exacerbated social inequalities. Her impact on British politics and society continues to be debated and studied extensively. Her quote –

“If my critics saw me walking on water, they would say it’s because I can’t swim.”
