Talk about former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

She was known as the Iron Lady and one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.

Last April, Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first female prime minister, passed away at the age of 87.

She had been in poor health for quite some time and had suffered from dementia.

Her death, however, stirred mixed feelings in Great Britain.

It is undeniable that Mrs. Thatcher polarized opinion.

Most Britons who lived through her 11 years in power either love or loathe her.

Some idolize her for saving Britain from economic collapse while others bitterly criticize her for widening the gap between rich and poor.
