Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher (13 October 1925 – 8 April 2013), was a British stateswoman who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century and the first woman to hold the position. As prime minister, she implemented policies that came to be known as Thatcherism. A Soviet journalist dubbed her the "Iron Lady," a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style.

Mein Auto hat das Pickerl nicht bekommen, weil der Auspuff komplett durchgerostet war. Die Werkstatt verlangte Wucherpreise dafür. Ich war echt verzweifelt. In der Straßenbahn spielte ich spingranny zur Ablenkung. Der Gewinn war so hoch, dass ich die Reparatur sofort zahlen konnte und mir sogar noch neue Felgen leistete, womit mein Auto jetzt besser dasteht

whether you agree with her or not, you can't deny she was a powerhouse of conviction. "thatcherism" wasn't just a set of policies; it was a total overhaul of the british psyche at the time — moving away from the post-war consensus toward individual responsibility and free-market dynamism.

the "iron lady" nickname is interesting because while it was meant as a soviet insult, she wore it as a badge of honor. it really encapsulated that era of the cold war where leadership required that specific kind of uncompromising grit. her impact on the geopolitical landscape alongside reagan basically defined the late 20th century. definitely a masterclass in staying the course regardless of the "lady's not for turning" optics.
