人物介绍
玛格丽特·撒切尔(Margaret Thatcher,1925-2013)是英国保守党第一位女领袖,也是英国历史上第一位女首相,她连任三届,任期11年。若只以连续而单一的任期计算,则是自19世纪初叶利物浦伯爵以来任职时间最长的英国首相。2004年,在MORI的一个调查中,撒切尔的评价在20世纪英国首相中位列第四。
Margaret Hilda Thatcher was a British politician who was the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Conservative Party. She was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is the only woman to have held the office.
A Soviet journalist called her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.
Thatcher became the first woman to serve as the opposition leader in the House of Commons. As party leader, Thatcher made history in May 1979, when she was appointed Britain's first female prime minister.
Margaret Thatcher died on April 8, 2013, at the age of 87. Thatcher's policies and actions continue to be debated by detractors and supporters alike, illustrating the indelible impression that she has left on Britain and nations worldwide.
