Powerful Women in the World

There were many powerful women in history, Margaret Thatcher is worthy of being named the most
influential one because she revealed strong willingness to achieve goals and endless allegiance to the
political cause of her country. Her hard-working, high erudition, dedication to own principles and views
and the indestructible sense of purpose inspire many people to uncover the secret of becoming such a
person.

Such expressions as “I am not able to do it” or “It is so hard to do” did not exist for her. She adopted
them from her father as well as a credo, “Do not follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you”. M.
Thatcher not only raised the economy of Britain to the highest positions in the 1980s but also stimulated
about 150 countries throughout the world to follow her methods of governing. As a matter of fact, the
so-called “Thatcherism” became the most popular and successful way of governing a country in
twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It was so because she knew that the “crowd” was demanding
things that were not essential for Britain and the world at that time. She was intended to change
everything, and she actually did it because she did not let the public prevail over her. The genuine
characteristic of her personality is that her political views were untraditional and radical for those times.
She was not afraid of being censured because of her uncompromising position, as opposed to the policy
of the most deputies. She believed that saving of low taxes was necessary in order to stimulate citizens
to work harder and industriously. Apart from this, she voted for the legalization of abortion and the
liberation from the persecution of sexual minorities. She knew that these changes would stun the
society but she also understood that it was necessary for Britain. Ultimately, all her actions were always
accomplished successfully because she was brave and modern enough to destroy old inefficient ways of
governing and bring innovative ideas to life.

To sum up, it is impossible to overvalue her role in the economic and political life of Britain. Yet, her
assertiveness, steadfastness, mental quickness and fearlessness in the face of insoluble problems are
those features which please thousands of people. It does not matter how much she did for her country
because her personality itself is much more interesting and captivating thing to get to know. She always
used to say that a person should not give up on herself to become an inspiring example for the others.
Indeed, M. Thatcher never stopped doing what she had to do in order to reach important purposes even
if no one would appreciate her methods of reaching them.
