She was a british stateswoman, and the Prime minister of the UK from 1979 to 1990. She began politics when she was elected as Member of the Parliament in 1959.
She was well-known as Prime minister because she put hard laws in the economic sphere to fight against unemployment. She emphasised deregulation in the financial sector, flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state-owned companies and she reduced the power and influence of trade union. She was re-elected 2 times, so she had 3 terms.
Some of her laws, such as the “poll-tax” were very unpopular and she looked to be a harsh woman, so that’s why she had the nickname of “the iron lady”. She decided to resign as Prime Minister in November 1990 and she died from a stroke in 2013. Her legacy in politics has a name: the Thatcherism.
