John Campbell discusses his biography of Margaret Thatcher and examines her impact on the 20th century. From her humble, small-town upbringing to her rise to power as the United Kingdom's first female prime minister, to her dramatic fall from grace after more than three decades of service. The Iron Lady: Margaret Thatcher, from Grocer’s Daughter to Prime Minister delves into Thatcher’s life and legacy.

Margaret Thatcher became British Prime Minister in 1979. Baroness Thatcher, as she is now, continues to cast a long shadow over modern politics in general and conservative politics in particular. A dear friend of President Ronald Reagan, her firebrand style of conservatism prioritized privatization and reduced state intervention. The new movie about her — "The Iron Lady" — steers clear of commenting on these policies, but deals with personal price she has paid for spending much of her life in the public spotlight.
