From Lady Margaret Thatcher - from The Washington Examiner:
12 Margaret Thatcher quotes to start Women's History Month the right way
Wednesday marks the beginning of Women's History Month, and feminists are well-prepared to offer their own version of that subject over the course of the next thirty days. More often than not, those efforts deliberately exclude the accomplishments of women whose worldviews do not conform to the standards of contemporary feminism.
One such woman happens to be among the most consequential historical figures of the 20th century.
Born the daughter of a grocer, Margaret Thatcher ascended the ranks of British politics and served eventually as the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990. Her talent for packaging wisdom into pithy phrases left us with countless concise quotes to return to for years to come. Here is a brief selection to help you celebrate her successes this Women's History Month.
-
- "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."
- "There is no such thing as Society. There are individual men and women and there are families."
- "Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country."
These are the first three - eight more great ones at the site.
