More from Margaret Thatcher
"The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation."
"I always wear a hat. It's a very practical thing, because it keeps your head warm and it keeps your hair tidy."
"Freedom under the law is the most precious thing we have."
"There are still some people who believe that you can get something for nothing. You can't."
"I came to office with one paramount aim: to change the national mood. From despondency to hope, from dependency to self-reliance."
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.
