As the longest-standing British Prime Minister in the 20th century, who became the first woman to take on the role, serving from 1979 to 1990?

Answer Margaret Thatcher

Nicknamed "The Iron Lady" for her uncompromising politics and leadership style, Margaret Thatcher implemented policies that came to be known as Thatcherism. Her ideology included privatization and a reduction of the government's role in the economy. The Labour Party came up with a "cool" rhyming taunt, calling her a "milk snatcher".
