Iron Ladies: Women in Thatcher's Britain
The Women's Library, London Metropolitan University

Entrance free
What was it like to be Britain's first female prime minister? What
legacy did Margaret Thatcher create for women and the women's movement?
Was Thatcher's election a reflection of women's changing social roles,
or a political one-off? Iron Ladies: Women in Thatcher’s Britain is the
first exhibition to consider the impact of ‘Thatcherism’ on British
women in the 1980s, and to look at the ways in which Margaret Thatcher’s
presence as a role model affected women’s lives. Using a wide range of
original material, including previously unseen visual and archival
documents, photographs, posters, memorabilia and clothing of the period,
the exhibition addresses central issues from this defining period of
recent history.
They use this photo, I'm not sure that any of these women thought of Thatcher as a role model.
