October 13, 1925, Grantham - April 8, 2013, London - 71st Prime Minister of Great Britain (Conservative Party of Great Britain) in 1979-1990, Baroness since 1992. The first woman to occupy this post, as well as the first woman to become the prime minister of a European state. Thatcher's premiership was the longest in the 20th century. Nicknamed "The Iron Lady" for her sharp criticism of the Soviet leadership, she implemented a number of conservative measures that became part of the policy of the so-called "Thatcherism" .
Trained as a chemist, she became a lawyer, in 1959 she was elected Member of Parliament from Finchley, who was until 1992. In 1970 she was appointed Minister of Education and Science in the government of the Conservative Edward Heath. In 1975, she defeated Heath in the election of the new head of the Conservative Party and became the leader of the parliamentary opposition, as well as the first woman to lead one of the main parties in Great Britain. Following the victory of the Conservative Party in the 1979 general election, Margaret Thatcher became prime minister. As head of government, she undertook political and economic reforms to reverse what she saw as the country's decline. Its political philosophy and economic policies were based on deregulation, especially of the financial system, ensuring a flexible labor market, privatizing state-owned companies and reducing the influence of trade unions. Thatcher's high popularity during the early years of her reign diminished due to the recession and high unemployment, but increased again during the 1982 Falklands War and economic growth, leading to her re-election in 1983. Thatcher was re-elected for a third time in 1987, but the proposed poll tax law and views on Britain's role in the European Union were unpopular with members of her government. After Michael Heseltine challenged her leadership in the party, Thatcher was forced to resign as head of the party and prime minister.
