Iron Lady
Margaret Thatcher was Britain’s first female Prime
Minister and is regarded today as one of the most important political figures of the 20th
century. The daughter of a grocer, she was born Margaret Hilda Roberts on October 13, 1925 in
Grantham, Lincolnshire. After she graduated from Oxford University, Margaret’s eye was
clearly on politics; she first served as a member of parliament in 1959. A member of the
Conservative Party, Thatcher held multiple government positions, including Education Secretary.
Shocking those who vowed that a woman could never rise to political power in Britain,
Thatcher became Prime Minister in May 1979. She served three consecutive terms, making her mark on the
political stage.
As Prime Minister, Thatcher established herself as an
active and authoritative political force. Her mission was to protect the autonomy of
individuals and limit the powers of the state. She became known for her role in privatizing
aspects of Britain’s government, for reducing social services and for restricting labor
unions. “Thatcherism” was the term used to describe these policies, many of which were met with
protest even as she vowed that her economic policies would allow the Britain to thrive.
Thatcher stood firmly with the U.S. against Communism, earning her the nickname "Iron
Lady" from the Soviets. She became known as a bold, uncompromising figure; she is remembered as one
of the most important leaders in modern history. She died on April 8th 2013 at age 87.

Traditional Irish Blessings
- Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter; Lullabies, dreams and love ever after. Poems and songs with pipes and drums; A thousand welcomes when anyone comes.
- May St. Patrick guard you wherever you go and guide you in whatever you do -- and may his loving protection be a blessing to you always.
- May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields and, until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
