Maggie
As the first female British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher ruled Great Britain with hard-line economic, social and foreign policies that helped her earn her name "The Iron Lady." Though many admire her as one of her country's strongest political leaders, she is equally reviled by others.

This revealing new portrait of the towering public figure begins with her entry into politics at just 23 years old, follows her rise through the ranks as she balanced a career and motherhood while struggling against class snobbery and sexism and examines the issues she faced during her three terms as British Prime Minister.
