Iron Lady. The Secrets of Margaret Thatcher

"The Russians call me the Iron Lady. They are right. But England needs an IRON LADY". The main thing this woman did was fight. Her whole 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, for her place in parliament, in the party, in the world of politics. She fought against the suddenly unbearable feeling of uselessness. She fought against the damned age. She even fought in places where it wasn't necessary. And ten years after her death, the attitude towards her is black and white, "either – or", without shades of gray. Margaret Thatcher herself never acknowledged the shades of gray, and everything about her character and destiny was just like that. The daughter of a shopkeeper became the second person in the state, communicated with monarchs and presidents, became a baroness and was considered a standard of business style, but sometimes behaved like a market trader even at international events. Thatcher had the most unattractive nicknames – "Toothpick", "Milk Thief", "Damn Woman", "Fishmonger", "Shopkeeper", "Witch". And for a whole eleven years, she was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, setting an absolute record in the 20th century. She lectured others on how to raise children, but she couldn't 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.
