Synopsis
This programme profiles the life and career of controversial British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Dubbed 'The Iron Lady' by friends and foes alike, Thatcher led her country through the hard times of the 1970s and the gaudy glitter of the '80s. Throughout her 11-year term (1979-1990), the first female leader of the Conservative Party courted both admiration and denigration with her firm, uncompromising socioeconomic and foreign policies.
