"I owe nothing to feminism. Feminism has done nothing for me."
"I have a reputation for being obstinate. I don't think I am. I think I'm very firm."
"I came to office with one clear purpose: to get Britain back on her feet again."
"There are still people who believe that the state should provide everything. They are wrong. The state provides nothing. It only distributes what others produce."
About Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)
British Prime Minister (1979-1990) whose free-market reforms and confrontation with trade unions defined the late-20th-century right. Closely associated with Ronald Reagan (her closest international ally). For an intellectual contrast, see Tony Benn, Labour cabinet minister and democratic-socialist figurehead — Benn was the loudest parliamentary opposition to Thatcherism throughout the 1980s. His diaries and Thatcher's autobiography are the two opposing histories of the period — Britain's class politics is structured around which view was right.
