Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baronesa Thatcher de Kesteven LG, OM, PC, FRS foi uma política britânica, primeira-ministra do Reino Unido de 1979 a 1990.

Nascida Margaret Roberts em Grantham, Lincolnshire, Thatcher estudou ciências químicas na Universidade de Oxford antes de se qualificar como barrister. Nas eleições gerais de 1959 no Reino Unido ela foi eleita parlamentar pela região de Finchley. Edward Heath nomeou Thatcher secretária do Departamento de Educação e Habilidades em seu governo de 1970. Em 1975 ela foi eleita líder do Partido Conservador, sendo a primeira mulher a liderar um dos principais partidos do Reino Unido, e em 1979 ela se tornou a primeira mulher a ser primeira-ministra do Reino Unido.

Ao liderar o governo do Reino Unido, Thatcher estava determinada a reverter o que via como o declínio nacional de seu país. Suas políticas econômicas foram centradas na desregulamentação do setor financeiro, na flexibilização do mercado de trabalho e na privatização das empresas estatais. Sua popularidade esteve baixa em meio à recessão econômica iniciada com a Crise do petróleo de 1979; no entanto, uma rápida recuperação econômica, além da vitória britânica na Guerra das Malvinas, fizeram ressurgir o apoio necessário para sua reeleição em 1983.

Devido ao fato de Thatcher ter sobrevivido a uma tentativa de assassinato em 1984, de sua dura oposição aos sindicatos e de sua forte crítica à União Soviética, foi alcunhada de "Dama de Ferro". Thatcher foi reeleita para um terceiro mandato em 1987, mas sua impopular visão crítica à criação da União Europeia lhe fez perder apoio em seu partido, renunciando aos cargos de primeira-ministra e líder do partido em 1990.

Thatcher tinha um título vitalício de pariato como Baronesa Thatcher de Kesteven, o que lhe garantia um assento na Câmara dos Lordes.

Margaret Thatcher Frases famosas

“Deixe-me dizer em que acredito: no direito do homem de trabalhar como quiser, de gastar o que ganha, de ser dono de suas propriedades e de ter o Estado para lhe servir e não como seu dono. Essa é a essência de um país livre, e dessas liberdades dependem todas as outras.”

“They are arrayed against every principle for which we stand. So when the Soviet leaders jail a writer, or a priest, or a doctor or a worker, for the crime of speaking freely, it is not only for humanitarian reasons that we should be concerned. For these acts reveal a regime that is afraid of truth and liberty; it dare not allow its people to enjoy the freedoms we take for granted, and a nation that denies those freedoms to its own people will have few scruples in denying them to others. If detente is to progress then it ought to mean that the Soviet authorities relax their ruthless opposition to all forms and expressions of dissent.”

“From France to the Philippines, from Jamaica to Japan, from Malaysia to Mexico, from Sri Lanka to Singapore, privatisation is on the move…The policies we have pioneered are catching on in country after country. We Conservatives believe in popular capitalism—believe in a property-owning democracy. And it works! … The great political reform of the last century was to enable more and more people to have a vote. Now the great Tory reform of this century is to enable more and more people to own property. Popular capitalism is nothing less than a crusade to enfranchise the many in the economic life of the nation. We Conservatives are returning power to the people. That is the way to one nation, one people.”

“Americans and Europeans alike sometimes forget how unique is the United States of America. No other nation has been created so swiftly and successfully. No other nation has been built upon an idea – the idea of liberty. No other nation has so successfully combined people of different races and nations within a single culture. Both the founding fathers of the United States and successive waves of immigrants to your country were determined to create a new identity. Whether in flight from persecution or from poverty, the huddled masses have, with few exceptions, welcomed American values, the American way of life and American opportunities. And America herself has bound them to her with powerful bonds of patriotism and pride. The European nations are not and can never be like this. They are the product of history and not of philosophy. You can construct a nation on an idea; but you cannot reconstruct a nation on the basis of one.”

“Our religion teaches us that every human being is unique and must play his part in working out his own salvation. So whereas socialists begin with society, and how people can be fitted in, we start with Man, whose social and economic relationship are just part of his wider existence. Because we see man as a spiritual being, we utterly reject the Marxist view, which gives pride of place to economics…The religious tradition values economic activity, how we earn our living, create wealth, but warns against obsession with it, warns against putting it above all else. Money is not an end in itself, but a means to an end.”

“We support the right of women to choose our own lives for ourselves. If women wish to be lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists, politicians, we should have the same opportunities as men, more and more we do…But many women wish to devote themselves mainly to raising a family and running a home. And we should have that choice too. Very few jobs can compare in long-term importance and satisfaction with that of housewife and mother. For the family is the building block of society. It is a nursery, a school, a hospital, a leisure place, a place of refuge and a place of rest. It encompasses the whole of society. It fashions our beliefs. It is the preparation for the rest of our life. And women run it.”

That is the scale of the outrage in which we have all shared, and the fact that we are gathered here now—shocked, but composed and determined—is a sign not only that this attack has failed, but that all attempts to destroy democracy by terrorism will fail.”
