Just want Margaret Thatcher?
Hello! My name is Margaret. I grew up in a little town in England. My family lived in a home right above our grocery shop. I loved helping my dad in the shop. We would put things on the shelves and say hello to everyone who came in. Helping my dad in our shop was so much fun. It made me want to help people in even bigger ways when I grew up. I had a very big dream to help my whole country.
When I got older, I went to school and studied science. Learning about science was very fun, but my biggest dream was still to help lead my country. It was a very, very big job. Before me, only men had ever done this job. I knew I had to work extra hard to show everyone I could do it, and that is just what I did. I worked and worked. Then, in the year 1979, I got the job. I became the first woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. I was so happy I could help my country.
I worked as the leader for a long, long time. It was my job to help make important choices for my country. I lived to be 87 years old. Today, people remember me as a strong leader. Some people even gave me a special name. They call me 'The Iron Lady.' I am happy I showed everyone that a woman could have the most important job in the land. It is good to remember that you can do big things, too.
