- A first edition copy of The Downing Street Years, autographed by Margaret Thatcher
Serving three consecutive terms in office, 1979-1990, Margaret Thatcher was the UK's first female prime minister. She received the nickname "Iron Lady" for her forceful political rhetoric.
Thatcher's policies reduced inflation, lowered taxes and reduced social expenditure. Her ideological support of free-market economies helped foster a friendship with the United States' president Ronald Reagan.
First edition of The Downing Street Years, NY, HarperCollins, 1993.
Signed beautifully by Margaret Thatcher on the title page in blue felt tip pen, likely in 1993. Just three years after she left Downing Street.
The dust jacket states the British prime minister’s memoir provides "a brilliant first-hand portrayal of her years in power... she sets out here with forcefulness and conviction the reasons for her beliefs and how she sought to turn them into action".
