英國(guó)歷史人物:瑪格麗特•撒切爾
人物介紹
瑪格麗特·撒切爾(Margaret Thatcher,1925-2013)是英國(guó)保守黨第一位女領(lǐng)袖,也是英國(guó)歷史上第一位女首相,她連任三屆,任期11年。若只以連續(xù)而單一的任期計(jì)算,則是自19世紀(jì)初葉利物浦伯爵以來任職時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)的英國(guó)首相。2004年,在MORI的一個(gè)調(diào)查中,撒切爾的評(píng)價(jià)在20世紀(jì)英國(guó)首相中位列第四。
Margaret Hilda Thatcher was a British politician who was the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Conservative Party. She was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is the only woman to have held the office.
A Soviet journalist called her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.
Thatcher became the first woman to serve as the opposition leader in the House of Commons. As party leader, Thatcher made history in May 1979, when she was appointed Britain's first female prime minister.
Margaret Thatcher died on April 8, 2013, at the age of 87. Thatcher's policies and actions continue to be debated by detractors and supporters alike, illustrating the indelible impression that she has left on Britain and nations worldwide.

銀幕上的撒切爾夫人
突破性別、階層的重重阻礙,從一個(gè)食品雜貨商的女兒變成英國(guó)歷史上第一位女首相,這看上去只有在電影里才能出現(xiàn)的故事,卻是撒切爾夫人的親身經(jīng)歷。盡管人們對(duì)她的評(píng)價(jià)不一,但她一生的拼搏向上的精神卻值得每一個(gè)人學(xué)習(xí)。
