I went through some research about Thatcher this week as well, and found some facts that I never given thought of. I was reading a book called "The survival of women"(This is a Japanese book, so I simply translated the book title into English.) The book argues about how the women's status converted with the times. It partly talked about one of Thatcher's policies. Thatcher was one of the conservative party member, but in those days, the conservative party was more innovative than the other party, and the other party was more defensive at the time. This contributes to each of the party's stance. Moreover, Thatcher was not a sexist, but neither maintained feminism. She thought that whatever the gender they are, it depends on one's ability. In some ways, I think she is somewhat exclusive, but has a point in what she says. The more I learn about her, the more I understand the passion, determination, and the confidence in her leadership.

  1. Hi Maya,

    Thanks for this update on your essay. I think it can be very important to write about the process of writing a paper. I am happy to hear too that you seem to be captivated by Thatcher, which will help to motivate you to write well and want to share your knowledge.

    Let's be writing about our text too, okay.
