More from Margaret Thatcher
"Britain's decline is not inevitable. It is a choice."
"What is success? It is being able to go to bed each night with your soul at peace."
"If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing."
"There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families."
"I'm not a lady who changes her mind. I'm a lady who changes the minds of others."
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.
