The Iron Lady: The Secrets of Margaret Thatcher

The most important thing this woman did was fight. Her entire life. Every minute. She fought for her father's attention and approval. She fought to be the best at everything, to be different from everyone else, to stand out in parliament, in the party, in the world of politics. She fought against the sudden irrelevance she felt. She fought against the curse of age. She fought even when it wasn't necessary. And ten years after her death, attitudes toward her are black and white, "either/or," with no gray areas.
Margaret Thatcher herself never accepted gray areas, and everything about her character and destiny was precisely that. A shopkeeper's daughter became the second most important person in the country, interacted with monarchs and presidents, became a baroness, and was considered the epitome of business style, yet sometimes she behaved like a market trader even at international events. Thatcher was nicknamed "Toothpick," "Milk Thief," "Devil Woman," "Fishmonger," "Shopkeeper," and "Witch." And she served as Prime Minister of Great Britain for eleven years, setting an all-time record in the 20th century. She lectured others on how to raise children, but failed to raise her own son...
This book sheds light for the first time on the most secret pages of the biography of one of the greatest women in world history.
