Margaret Thatcher

Born October 13th, 1925 in a small and close-knit town called Grantham

She study chemistry at Oxford where she led the Conservative Association there.

she ran as the youngest female candidate in Britain for the seat in Dartford on the conservative ticket

During her run, she met her husband, Denis Thatcher and married him in 1951. After having twins in 1953,

she took time to train as a lawyer. Subsequently, Thatcher was elected to Parliament and then to the House of Lords.

she ran as the youngest female candidate in Britain for the seat in Dartford on the conservative ticket. Although she lost, she emerged as a passionate conservative who could speak with voters clearly and with certainty.

2. Jumping to 1979, Britain was in a state of economic recession, inflation was rising, and tensions were straining in the Soviet Union. Thatcher opposed the leading Labour Party and ran on her strong conservative convictions. Thatcher had a clear plan and the public voted her in a Prime Minister in May.

From then on, we know her as the Iron Lady – the woman who handled war and terrorism with a level-head and iron fist; the woman who dug Britain out of their recession; and the woman who helped “tear down that wall,” ending the Cold War with our President Ronald Reagan by her side.

5. We live in a world that values respect, faith, liberty, and most importantly hard work. Lady Thatcher showed us that if we stick by our conservative values, nothing can stop us from achieving our dreams.
