Final Essay

I am planning to write about Margaret Thatcher. Analyzing the leadership of the woman who was called the "iron lady", I think I will gain another perspective of what it is to be a leader. 

She was the British Prime Minister from 1975 to 1990; she was strong, and uncompromising. She was called the "iron lady" ironically, but she actually seemed to like it. I can't actually say she was an ideal leader, but I think she was a great, significant leader in history.

There are many articles and books about her now, but it was just last year in April that she passed away. What she had achieved and went through was severe, but she actually experienced them all while it was still rare to be a women leader. As a mother, as a wife, and as a leader of a country, it is obvious that it was tough. (Well…far from tough…) All in all, there are many things that we can learn from her leadership. We learn Shackleton's leadership, but I think Thatcher's leadership is important as well in the society. Not all leaders can achieve by the way Shackleton did. As for the main purpose for choosing this topic is because I think it is important to know this kind of leadership as well.

There was a movie of Margaret Thatcher, The Iron Lady, Meryl Streep acting the role of Thatcher. There are scenes that are familiar to what we learn in class, like what leaders do to improve their leadership. I know that this is arranged a lot, but it made me easier to understand the whole image of Thatcher. (I simply like Meryl Streep, her acting is great!)
