This extraordinary woman will be remembered after death, by me, as a gritty, determined girl, candidate, leader and ultimate political leader of her nation when the country needed her.
I never agreed with her politics or policies but she was extraordinary. Also, she was the first of what I hope are many PM’s across the pond and perhaps a president in this former colony named USA.
Today, the day of her demise, I prefer to think of her not as Baroness Margaret Thatcher, but as Maggie, the Iron Lady who scrabbled up from a working class life to politics where no women were allowed.
Did she show us women could be leaders and girls could choose to do so? Yes, she did. Rest in peace, Denis awaits. Respects, Dee
