Self
Nicknamed the "Iron Lady," Margaret Thatcher served as the prime minister of England from 1979 to 1990. The daughter of a local businessman, she was educated at the local grammar school. Her family operated a grocery store and they all lived in an apartment above the store. In her early years Thatcher was introduced to conservative politics by her father who was a member of the townʼs council.
