And rightfully so. The people that she looked up to all worked very hard; perhaps they were the inspiration in her life. She made a great effort to become the British Prime Minister and, at one point she made a very ironic statement. After having lost the election twice before, she said that “There will never be a woman Prime Minister in my lifetime.” And for a while afterwards, she settled for raising her twins (Carol and Mark) with her husband, Denis Thatcher, whom she married in 1954. Margaret Thatcher never gave up on politics full scale, though. And she always pushed herself to be a few things: 1) Forever Faithful Margaret Thatcher was a woman of faith. And her faith influenced her political stances throughout her life. She believed that God would lead her to her own future and that, as long as she had faith in Him, she and her family would be okay. 2) Loving From what I’ve read and heard about Margaret Thatcher, she was a very kind woman who loved to help people and would always put other people before herself and her campaign. I believe that this was partially because she was a believer in God and also because of the way she was raised. by her …show more content…
She helped a lot of people during her eleven years as British Prime Minister and her faith remained strong even through her toughest times. One of the examples of this is when a hotel that she was staying in was part of an IRA assassination attempt in October 12, 1984. Margaret Thatcher barely escaped from the blast along with most of the other people in the building. Sadly, the blast from the bomb killed five people that day. But she was still brave enough to give her scheduled speech just hours after the attack. “The fact that we are gathered here now, shocked but composed and determined, is a sign not only that this attack has failed, but that all attempts to destroy democracy by terrorism will fail.” She spoke of this at the speech that she gave in Brighton to assure the people that she was okay, for she had refused to flee back to London as her staff begged her to do; she refused to back down from her post. The man who had planted the time bomb was identified as Patrick Magee; he was a member of the Irish Republican

Margaret Sanger, a New York and an active feminist, led the fight for contraceptives, which are methods or devices to prevent pregnancy. Sanger, whose mother at a young age because she had birthed eleven children, helped shape her into a very individualistic and assertive woman. She was a part of the Socialist party, while studying to be a nurse, and starting a family of her own. In 1912, she began to work in the slums with the poor immigrant women who lived there. Her experience in the slums with these women, helped shaped her strong opinion on why women should be in control of childbearing. This was not the only thing that shaped it, but helped further her outlook after she was a witness to her own mother’s death. Her final call to action though was the ghastly stories of self-induced abortions and the tales of more than horrific pregnancies.
Margaret Sanger is one of the top ten most influential women in united states history for her role as an American Birth Control Activist. Margaret fought adamantly for women’s rights throughout her life, becoming the first to open a Birth Control Clinic in the U.S.
Anne wasn’t afraid to be different and stand up for something she believed in. At the time it may have just seemed like a minuscule thing, just some women saying something about her religious beliefs. But who would have known that something so small would have blossomed into a monumental thing. What if Anne Hutchinson didn’t stand up for her beliefs? Who knows where religion would be today in the 21st century. Her achievements are seen even today if everyday life. She contributed so much to religion overall. Today, we don’t have to worry about hiding our beliefs. We don’t have to worry about being arrested or going to trial because what we think isn’t the popular opinion. Because of Anne Hutchinson the world is a better place. Even though it may seem like she lost the battle, by being imprisoned in her home and being unfairly treated by her piers she actually won. She stood up for what she believed and took the consequences for her actions. And thanks to her we now have religious freedom that she worked so hard to get. Thanks to Anne women now have a role model to look up to, someone who was so brave for her time. Women can look up to Anne Hutchinson and think that they can be brave too. That they can do anything they put their minds too even if it might be something that has never been done before.

He was a freethinking atheist who strongly supported free public education. He earned his living carving marble. Margaret heard these beliefs growing up and they inspired her to change a woman’s place in the world.

In the start of these three paragraphs, she states what “others” in society believed or predicted, but then in the second part of these paragraphs, states what actually occurred, all thanks to Reagan. For example, “Others prophesized the decline of the West. He inspired America and its allies with renewed faith in their mission of freedom.” These contrasts presented by Thatcher between what was predicted, and what Ronald Reagan was actually able to accomplish, gives the American people a fresh reminder of the way in which even against all odds, Reagan still

These values are important to the American
However, this source could also be considered of little value as it is unlikely Margaret Thatcher would criticise herself, there is very little mention of the impact her policies have had, and the speech coming from 1984 means that there is very little scope for any information about the long-term impact of her policies to make it into the source. Source B has a similar set of advantages and disadvantages to a historian studying the impact of Thatcher’s social and economic problems, as, while it does focus on the effects that her policies had at the time, it still was not created at a time when it could offer insight at the long term impacts of her policies, comes from a speech from an opposition party leader, and so is therefore likely to focus on the negatives, and again contains very little statistical evidence to support its
