"I always wear a hat. It's a very practical thing, because it keeps your head warm and it keeps your hair tidy."
"I'm not a lady who changes her mind. I'm a lady who changes the minds of others."
"I am not concerned with the fact that I am a woman. I am concerned with the fact that I am a Conservative."
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.
