Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013) was a British politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990, making her the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century. She was the first woman to hold the office of Prime Minister in the UK.
Thatcher was born in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England and studied chemistry at Somerville College, Oxford. She later qualified as a barrister and worked as a research chemist before entering politics. She was elected to the British Parliament in 1959 as a Conservative Party MP for Finchley and served in various government positions before becoming leader of the Conservative Party in 1975.
As Prime Minister, Thatcher implemented a range of controversial policies that became known as Thatcherism. These included reducing the power of trade unions, privatizing state-owned industries, and cutting government spending. She was a staunch advocate of free-market economics and believed in the importance of individual responsibility and self-reliance.
Thatcher’s leadership was marked by a number of significant events, including the Falklands War in 1982, which she successfully fought against Argentina, and the miners’ strike of 1984-1985, which was a major battle with the trade unions.
Thatcher resigned as Prime Minister in 1990 after her own party turned against her, and she was succeeded by John Major. Despite her controversial policies, Thatcher remains a hugely influential figure in British politics and her legacy continues to be debated to this day.
