Margaret Thatcher: The Iron Lady

Dubbed 'The Iron Lady' by a Soviet newspaper that meant it as an insult, Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first female prime minister and one of its most formidable leaders, adopted the nickname with pride. Her will was one of iron, as she determinedly set about returning Britain to prosperity and helping to end the Cold War. Where there was doubt, she brought determination. Where there was despair, she brought hope. And wherever there was oppression, she helped forged the will to resist it. The words and deeds of this exceptional woman will always inspire people to keep the torch of liberty burning. With richly detailed full color illustrations, the Heroes of Liberty book series provides entertaining, story-driven biographies of American leaders who have embodied the values of freedom, faith, and family. 46 pages, hardcover. Ages 7 to 12.
