Synopsis

'Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't'

Margaret Thatcher, UK prime minister 1979-1990 and leader of the Conservative Party 1975-1990, was the only woman to hold either post, and was re-elected for an unprecedented third term, earning her a place in British history as one of the most extraordinary figures of the late twentieth century.

This collection gathers together pithy and often witty quotations by the outspoken Iron Lady and fellow party members-many of them still surprisingly relevant today.
