Margaret Thatcher: Wife, Mother, Politician

Margaret Thatcher is a remarkable woman. Few British Prime Ministers have excited such extremes of passion from the general public, or such fascination from abroad. Margaret Thatcher is almost as well known by the man in the street in the United States, Japan and even Russia, as she is in London, Manchester and Glasgow. Why? What is she really like? Is she the Iron Lady that the Russians first christened her, or, as President Reagan quipped, "the Best Man in Britain"? What does she think of the names she is called - not all of them as civil as those two? And how does she feel when she is booed, assailed and abused by people in the street?

This is the first time that a biographer has concentrated on looking beneath the political image to find the woman, the mother and the wife; to discover what kind of human being it is that took the responsibility of war with Argentina, witnessed more and more people becoming unemployed and refused to waiver from her course when even senior members of her own party have said publicly that she is wrong.

After months of talking to family, friends and colleagues; opponents, critics and employees; Penny Junor finds a lady with some phenomenal strengths and some touching weaknesses. Her conclusion is that Margaret Thatcher is neither an Iron Lady nor the Best Man in Britain, but an extremely hard-working professional, driven by a divine belief in old-fashioned virtues. She has used every means at her disposal - including her sex - to try to do what she believes will make Britain great again. History will finally be the judge of whether she was right.
