Margaret Thatcher: Serving the Crown

The leader of Her Majesty’s Government, the Prime Minister, is a role that was conceptualised as far back as the 1700’s. For almost 300 years, the position was held by men. Until Margaret Thatcher infiltrated the All Boy’s club. Guiding the United Kingdom into a voyage of the unknown, the Iron Lady remained unwavered in her resolve to govern how she thought was best. Her uncompromising politics, sharp tongue and steely determination endeared her to much of the population, but her philosophy weren’t without its risks. Despite polarising communities throughout the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher went on to become the United Kingdom’s very first female Prime Minister and the longest serving in over 150 years. She is the first 20th century Prime minister to have won three consecutive terms. Both the Queen and Thatcher were used to being the only women in the old boys’ network, so how would two powerful women fare in the bid to make Britain great again. From the battles in the Falklands to unrest throughout the mining communities, even an IRA assassination attempt was executed…follow the trials and tribulations of Great Britain’s first female prime minister.
