History

I am fond of history. From the very childhood I was interested in historical events and figures. There is a grain of truth in our history and this grain should be studied. I would like to tell you about a person who changed the course of England’s history - Margaret Thatcher. This woman made a huge deal in English history and life. She was the first female prime minister of Britain, Margaret Thatcher was a controversial figurehead of conservative ideology during her time in office.

Her work compassed many spheres. She made a vast input in the development of the economy and politics . Margaret kept Great Britain in the ascendant through a great deal of challenges, and political and religious turmoil. She showed her talents as a diplomat.  She was an advocate of privatizing state-owned industries and utilities, reforming trade unions, lowering taxes and reducing social expenditure across the board. Thatcher's policies succeeded in reducing inflation, but unemployment dramatically increased during her years in power.

Over time, she cultivated her image as a politician married to her job and her people. For this dedication Margaret Thatcher earned the nickname, the "Iron Lady."
