The Real Iron Lady : Working with Margaret Thatcher

In this remarkable collection, Gillian Shephard--who herself served as a minister under Margaret Thatcher--has brought together a group of contributors with experience of working with Mrs. Thatcher during her time at 10 Downing Street. The result is a revealing record of the way that Britain's only female Prime Minister approached her job--her thoroughness, her extraordinary capacity for hard work, and her rare ability to combine attention to detail with a grasp of strategic issues. This is a unique insight into the working life of the real Iron Lady.Baroness Gillian Shephard was Secretary of State for Education in John Major's government.
