 | | Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC (born 13 October 1925), is a British politician, the first woman to become leader of the British Conservative Party and the first woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, a position she held from 1979 to 1990. |
 | | Thatcher was committed to reducing the power of the trade unions but unlike the Heath government, proceeded by way of incremental change rather than a single Act. |
 | | During the middle of the strike, on 11 October 1984, Thatcher miraculously escaped injury from a bomb planted by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in Brighton's Grand Hotel during the Conservative Party conference. |
