About Margaret Thatcher
British stateswoman
Margaret Thatcher was a British stateswoman and Conservative politician who lived from 1925 to 2013. She served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and led the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the office of prime minister and the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century. Her time in office is closely associated with Thatcherism, the set of policies she pursued as prime minister. A Soviet journalist called her the “Iron Lady”, a name that came to reflect her firm and uncompromising style.
