    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Thc sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pagc(s}". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed cither blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame* If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • What Was Margaret Thatcher's Legacy for Women, Purvis
    WHAT WAS MARGARET THATCHER’S LEGACY FOR WOMEN? June Purvis, University of Portsmouth, UK Published in Women’s History Review, Vol 22, No 6, December 2013, pp. 1014-1018, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09612025.2013.801136 ABSTRACT This article considers the legacy for women of Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013), Britain’s first and to date only Prime Minister. It is suggested that although Thatcher had to struggle against many of the sexist prejudices of her day to achieve her political ambitions, she was no feminist. The hard ladder up which she had climbed was drawn up and not extended to other women. Yet for some women, such as the Spice Girls, she was the pioneer of their ideology of girl power. Overall, it is concluded that Thatcher was a polarising figure whose legacy is one of much divisiveness in which the divisions between women is only one strand. BIOGRAPHICAL DATA June Purvis is Professor of Women’s and Gender History at the University of Portsmouth, UK. She is the Founding and Managing Editor of Women’s History Review. She has published extensively on women’s education in nineteenth-century Britain and on the British suffragette movement in the Edwardian era. Her most recent book, co-edited with Francisca de Haan, Margaret Allan and Krassimira Daskalova is Women’s Activism: global perspectives from the 1890s to the present (Routledge, 2013). Correspondence to: June Purvis, School of Social, Historical and Literary Studies, University of Portsmouth, Burnaby Road, Portsmouth PO1 3AS, UK. Email: [email protected] The death of Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first and to date only female Prime Minister, on Monday 8th April 2013, was widely covered in the British and international media.

Kevin Theakston ‘Wonderful thing, you know, to be a former prime minister’, James Callaghan said toDenis Thatcher, husband of the then-prime minister, in 1984.‘You go where you like. You have a wonderful time.

There is no fixed or predetermined role for former prime ministers. What they do after they leave office depends very much on personal choices and on circumstances. Reviewing the experience of former prime ministers in the 20th century suggests little in the way of a common pattern.

  • OCTOBER 2018 Handbagged
    OCTOBER 2018 Our Next Production Handbagged by Moira Buffini | Directed by Clare Williamson 11-13, 17-20 October 2018 at 7.30pm; matinee 20 October at 2.30pm Photography: Sean Owen If anyone had told me in the 1980s that, thirty years later, I’d be directing a play about Margaret Thatcher’s eleven year reign of power and enjoying every minute of it, I would have thought they were mad! And yet here we are, exploring all the tumultuous events that occurred as she sought to “change the soul of this country”. Many of you will have seen Moira Buffini’s Dinner, which played to great acclaim at the Barn last season. Although Handbagged is much more stylised, there is the same sharp and incisive writing which is used to great effect to get serious political points across to the audience without taking sides. There are always two Queens (Gill Tichborne and Mandy Kiley) and two Thatchers (Alexandra Evans and Marie Cooper) on stage who are aided and enhanced by a succession of satirical cameos of the great and the good – from Denis Thatcher to Nancy Reagan, as well as the occasional footman, all portrayed by two male actors (Will Harragan and Kevin Oelrichs). The resulting comic contradiction of statements and events by the older, more knowing, versions of the women, as the play leads us through Thatcher’s premiership, along with interventions by Actors 1 & 2, both in and out of role, add perspective and food for thought as well as humour. More than halfway through rehearsals we are still laughing at the dialogue and the characters.

  • The Religious Mind of Mrs Thatcher
    The Religious Mind of Mrs Thatcher Antonio E. Weiss June 2011 The religious mind of Mrs Thatcher 2 ------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT Addressing a significant historical and biographical gap in accounts of the life of Margaret Thatcher, this paper focuses on the formation of Mrs Thatcher’s religious beliefs, their application during her premiership, and the reception of these beliefs. Using the previously unseen sermon notes of her father, Alfred Roberts, as well as the text of three religious sermons Thatcher delivered during her political career and numerous interviews she gave speaking on her faith, this paper suggests that the popular view of Roberts’ religious beliefs have been wide of the mark, and that Thatcher was a deeply religious politician who took many of her moral and religious beliefs from her upbringing. In the conclusion, further areas for research linking Thatcher’s faith and its political implications are suggested. Throughout this paper, hyperlinks are made to the Thatcher Foundation website (www.margaretthatcher.org) where the sermons, speeches, and interviews that Margaret Thatcher gave on her religious beliefs can be found. The religious mind of Mrs Thatcher 3 ------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION ‘The fundamental reason of being put on earth is so to improve your character that you are fit for the next world.’1 Margaret Thatcher on Today BBC Radio 4 6 June 1987 Every British Prime Minister since the sixties has claimed belief in God. This paper will focus on just one – Margaret Thatcher. In essence, five substantive points are argued here which should markedly alter perceptions of Thatcher in both a biographical and a political sense.

  • Margaret Thatcher
    Margaret Thatcher Former Prime Minister United Kingdom 1925 - 2013 Margaret (Roberts) Thatcher was born October 13, 1925 in Grantham, England. Her parents owned and operated a grocery store. Margaret and her older sister Muriel lived with their parents in rooms above the store. She would later describe her life in the town of Grantham as a "decent and wholesome one with values shaped by the community rather than the government". As for her spiritual development she gives credit to her parents and the writer C.S. Lewis for having a great impact on her life and how she viewed religion. As she was growing up she listened to the men who came to the grocery store discuss politics with her father, and from the time she was a small child she was surrounded with this early political training. Her father, Alfred Roberts, gave her small jobs to do during the elections. She studied diligently in school in order to pass the entrance exams for the university. She went to college in Somerville, but had her sights set on Oxford. In order to qualify for entrance to Oxford she needed to have studied Latin for five years. She had a lot of chemistry credits, but no Latin, so in one year she learned enough Latin to pass the exam. When she left to attend Oxford she was 16 years old, about to be 17. The years she spent at Oxford were the war years of World War 2. She volunteered as a fire watcher several hours a week and worked at a snack bar for soldiers.

  • Troublemaker Or Peacemaker? Margaret Thathcer and Northern Ireland
    DUBLIN BUSINESS SCHOOL DBS School of Arts DANIEL COATES – 1727725 TROUBLEMAKER OR PEACEMAKER? MARGARET THATHCER AND NORTHERN IRELAND THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE BACHELOR OF ARTS (HONOURS) SUPERVISOR: DR. MICHEÁL Ó FATHARTAIGH 25 MAY 2016 1 Abstract The aim of my thesis is to highlight the events in Northern Ireland before; during and after Margaret Thatcher’s Premiership and answer the question was Margaret Thatcher a peacemaker or a troublemaker in terms of Northern Ireland? Did she speed up or slow down the Peace Process in Northern Ireland. There will be an introduction to Thatcher before going into the first chapter. The first chapter will focus on Anglo – Irish relations before Thatcher’s premiership focusing on how the troubles came about leading right up to Thatcher’s election in 1979. The second chapter will look at some events in northern Ireland during her first term in office focusing on for example, the Hunger Strikes of 1980 and 1981, Bobby Sand’s death and what followed in terms of support for Sinn Féin, Ireland’s stance on the Falklands war and how Thatcher reacted to that, The third chapter will focus on the Brighton Bombing, the Anglo- Irish Summit and the Anglo – Irish Agreement. The final chapter will focus on The Unionist reaction to the Anglo – Irish Agreement and the situation in Northern Ireland towards the end of Thatcher’s premiership and mentioning the Peace Agreements in the 1990’s under John Major (Thatcher’s successor) and Tony Blair’s Labour government and did she influence these peace agreements? The conclusion will just be a summary of what was said in each chapter and talk about the Iron Lady’s overall legacy in Northern Ireland.
