IRON Lady Margaret Thatcher is the most influential woman of the past 200 years, a poll has found.
Most think the
formidable Conservative Prime Minister, who died in 2013 aged 87, the
person who paved the way for others to smash the glass ceiling.
Her
influence is such that 25 years after she stepped down she heads a
glittering list including Nobel Prize winning scientist Marie Curie and
suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst.
Mrs Thatcher,
who occupied Number 10 between 1979 and 1990, used her handbag as an
icon of her rule once telling an interviewer: "Of course, I am obstinate
in defending our liberties and our law. That is why I carry a big
handbag." She also said: "If you want something said, ask a man; if you
want something done, ask a woman."
