Known as the "Iron Lady," what first female prime minister said, "If you want something done, ask a woman"?

A somewhat controversial figure, Margaret Thatcher earned her nickname the "Iron Lady" from a Soviet journalist referencing her uncompromising stances in politics and leadership. Her policies were known as Thatcherism, which put the squeeze on privatization, labor movement, and money supply in order to boost free markets and low inflation. She was the first woman to hold the office of prime minister and, to date, is the longest-serving prime minister, holding the office for over a decade.
