Margaret Thatcher.

“If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.”

“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.”

We saw The Iron Lady today. I think we were the only people under 50 years old in the theater… but that may have been because we saw it at 1pm. Obviously, Meryl Streep was brilliant and I loved her acting, but I didn’t think the movie did a very good job at painting Margaret Thatcher as the strong, history-making woman that she was. I left the theater with a feeling that Margaret Thatcher, the first female Prime Minister of England, was a senile, regretful old woman. Bummer, I was excited about that movie.
