Ex-Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher dies, aged 87
I know Thatcher was a polarising individual; for her politics and actions during the mining strikes etc.However, she rose to the top of an extremely male dominated field through conviction and sheer force of personality. And I think that deserves respect in itself.Given the current issues surrounding gender equality in many fields, her example should serve as inspiration.(Fact I have just learned; she was born just down the road from me! I'm quite surprised Grantham doesn't make a bigger deal of her roots there)
