On May 4th, 1979 Margaret Thatcher became the first female Prime Minister. She was born on October 13th, 1925 in Grantham, United Kingdom. Sources say that her father was involved in politics and conversations revolving around politics were prevalent during her childhood. This could be some factors that played into her getting involved in politics later in life. It was said that during the beginning of 1979 there was a general election that was called after the Callaghan ministry lost a motion of no confidence. Following the election, the results stated that The Conservatives won a 44-seat majority in the House of Commons, which confirmed that Thatcher would in fact become the first female prime minister in Great Britian. After being obtaining this position, she gained the nickname ‘Iron Lady’ due to her leadership style and uncompromising politics. Ultimately, Thatcher desired to change the rules of politics and leadership. It is stated that Thatcher was actually the longest serving PM for over one hundred and fifty years and that she served from 1979 to 1990. This position was not handed to her and it was evident that, that was not the case. Since she led the Conservative party since 1975, she won each re-election in both 1983 and 1987. In 1990 it was said that she resigned from being the prime minister of the United Kingdom along with being The Conservative party’s leader, however, her position in politics did not end there. Yes, she may have been challenged while she was in her well-known leadership position but that did not stop her from remaining in the Commons. In 1992, Thatcher finally retired from the Commons and was granted the title of a Baroness. She was then known as Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven in the County of Lincolnshire and was entitled to sit in the House of Lords. Her biggest accomplishment was that she is forever known for accelerating the evolution of Great Britian’s economy. Thatcher was named the most renowned British political leader since Winston Churchill. Baroness Margaret Thatcher unfortunately passed away on April 8th, 2013 at The Ritz in London, United Kingdom. She may have passed on; however, her accomplishments will certainly live on in history.
