00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.500 I 00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:45.000 think Charlotte 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.500 is a very strong woman because 00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:50.000 she had the courage to 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.500 stand up for herself and 00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:55.000 say that she could go in the streetcar 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.500 and soak up every 00:09:57.500 --> 00:10:00.000 African-American woman 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.500 men used to think they own the world but 00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:05.000 Charlotte 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.500 L Brown was a very 00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:10.000 strong woman and said 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.500 no she does not want 00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:15.000 that and she could go in the 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.500 car and so could everyone else 00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:20.000 I think she was a strong 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.500 woman and if that was 00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:25.000 me I would have been scared I 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.500 think Charles L Brown 00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:30.000 is a very 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.500 independent and very 00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:35.000 strong woman and I 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.500 feel glad that she stood 00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:40.000 up for her 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.500 rights 00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:45.000 doctor 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.500

you 00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:50.000 want something said ask a man if you want something 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.500 done ask a woman 00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:55.000 Margaret Hilda Patcher one 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.500 of Britain's most powerful woman background 00:14:57.500 --> 00:15:00.000 like many of us 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.500 good morning Grocer's daughter and so growing up working 00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:05.000 in her father's grocery store she learned the importance 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.500 and the value of personal responsibility financial 00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:10.000 management and the 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.500 importance of individuality and dignity 00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:15.000 of individuality and so 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.500 she took a message with her when she ran to the House of 00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:20.000 Commons twice she lost her first 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.500 to relax and allow that to stop her and she 00:15:22.500 --> 00:15:25.000 kept running until she finally won a seat in Parliament in 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.500 1959 and 00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:30.000 until she gradually started 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.500 the ranks of the conservative party until we can make 00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:35.000 its leader in 1975 that's 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.500 a different context behind the situation the Britain 00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:40.000 was facing the late 1970s high-spending 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.500 high taxes and radically powerful 00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:45.000 labor unions have brought the two of you 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.500 country to its knees leading to a storage levels 00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:50.000 of inflation and unemployment people 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.500 thought that the only path forward for Britain 00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:55.000 was a bleak one including slow 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.500 and managed decline. 00:15:57.500 --> 00:16:00.000 There was optimistic in our country in Seattle 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.500 plans if you successfully let her party to 00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:05.000 Victory on that message in 1979 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.500 was made her not just Britain's first 00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:10.000 female prime minister with the first female head of state 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.500 of any Western democracy breaking the highest 00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:15.000 glass ceiling in Britain 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.500 Yes Prime Minister got to successfully combat inflation 00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:20.000 by dramatically reducing government spending and 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.500 by Looking Back Against the 00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:25.000 labor unions and do it was a popular that's 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.500 how I knew that it was necessary later 00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:30.000 on when the time was right. You focus on 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.500 what time is it in official government services be regulating 00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:35.000 the British market and cutting taxes which 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.500 out unemployment and led to an economic boom 00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:40.000 in which International Banks from 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.500 across the world came to London making a new Financial 00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:45.000 Powerhouse 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:47.500 during the time of the economic recovery that Argentina 00:16:47.500 --> 00:16:50.000 than controlled by a military dictatorship 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.500 invaded British territory in 00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:55.000 the Atlantic the Falkland Islands from Argentina and 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.500 some advice. You can stand 00:16:57.500 --> 00:17:00.000 down the islands are worthless they said 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.500 thought you knew the importance of peace through strength 00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:05.000 standing on principle and 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.500 I'm spending the British citizens 00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:10.000 on the island and she successfully did still being 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.500 the argentinians back and restoring 00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:15.000 British national pride 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.500 copper was also a close friend of our very own President Ronald 00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:20.000 Reagan and she recognized Soviet leader Mikhail 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.500 Gorbachev and someone that could be worked with not 00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:25.000 an enemy when the USSR place 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.500 missiles in Eastern Europe and dr. 00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:30.000 Riggins decision 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.500 missiles in Western Europe 00:17:32.500 --> 00:17:35.000 This was peace through strength and eventually 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.500 the US starting crashing down liberating millions 00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:40.000 of people from his grasp including mind around family 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.500 in her final 00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:45.000 years of prime minister Thatcher continue to fight 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:47.500 sometimes unpopular but necessary policies 00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:50.000 including strong up with including 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.500 her strong opposition to a centralized European 00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:55.000 government agency near would harm British sovereignty 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.500 however this lets opposition from even 00:17:57.500 --> 00:18:00.000 within her own party and do it was 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.500 a leadership election was held this time against 00:18:02.500 --> 00:18:05.000 turn she won a majority 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:07.500 of votes in the first ballot with Belgian V2 00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:10.000 short of the 55% requirement but 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.500 instead of pushing forward and further divided 00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:15.000 her party and her country. 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.500 I have to resign from the Premiership after over 11 years 00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:20.000 of service leaving Britain any much 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.500 better Allstate than it was when she first came to power 00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:25.000 and leaving behind a legacy 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.500 of being Britain's longest-serving prime minister of 00:18:27.500 --> 00:18:30.000 the 20th century 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.500 what truly inspires me about Margaret Thatcher what makes 00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:35.000 me so deeply passionate about her 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.500 is that she fought for what was right no 00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:40.000 matter how unpopular because he knew that 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.500 was the right thing to do no matter how harsh the 00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:45.000 medicine is she knew that the basement 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.500 in order to survive another thing 00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:50.000 that makes me so deeply passionate and inspired 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.500 by Margaret Thatcher is that she 00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:55.000 recognized just like our President Ronald Reagan more 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.500 government led to the 00:18:57.500 --> 00:19:00.000 issues that the country was 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.500 Portuguese power it's so small government 00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:05.000 was

lastly 00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:25.000 that the government is not meant to be a master 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.500 to the people but a servant to us all 00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:30.000 and someone
