UNPROPHETIC STATEMENT
That Mrs. Margaret Thatcher was the first (and so far the only) woman Prime Minister of Great Britain is no more surprising. What is surprising is that for a woman renowned for her determination she did not think she would make it to the top.
In October, 1969 as a Shadow Spokesperson on Education under the Conservative Party opposition Leader, Sir Edward Heath of blessed memory, she said: "No woman in my time will be Prime Minister or Chancellor (of Exchequer) or, Foreign Secretary - not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be Prime Minister; you'll have to give yourself 100 per cent".
10 years later, this woman became the Prime Minister and ruled Great Britain for 11 years plus, consecutively. So admired by an Old Lady that she willed all her estate to her. And this was the woman who never thought Britain would have a woman Prime Minister in her lifetime. What a paradox!
