She was the first woman to ever rise to the position of Prime Minister in UK history. She was the longest serving Prime Minister in over 150 years. She was born October 19, 1929 and was the youngest daughter of the Mayor of Grantham. She studied chemistry at Oxford though politics was her love. After college took a job doing tests on cake fillings and ice cream for a London company while studying to take the bar. (She was actually on the team that invented the first soft-serve ice cream.) At 26 she married Denis Thatcher, a dashing and successful businessman and oil executive. She had twins named Mark and Carol. She pushed through many rejections before she was elected to the House of Commons in 1959. She served in many capacities within the House before rising to Prime Minister of England in 1979. She held to her platform with unwavering perseverance in the face of much criticism and opposition during her years as PM. She was a loyal friend of President Ronald Reagan and praised by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. She retired as Prime Minister in 1990 and retired from the House of Commons in 1992. She was given the title Baroness Thatcher and now sits in the House of Lords.
