In June 1975, Margaret Thatcher delivered a speech attacking detente. Six months later, the Soviets responded, calling her the "Iron Lady," according to Christopher Collins' 2003, National Review article, "The Full Thatcher".
Why marguerite thatcher so called "The iron lady"?
No nonsense and didn't put up with any B.S. She didn't play the games the boys did and liked to get things done. Truth hurts. What a gal. Remember the Falklands? She sure didn't beat around the bush and kiss anyones butt. Went right in there. Need more politicians like her.
Reply:because she ruled with an "iron fist". Hahaha. Joke.
Most probably because she lead with her strong personality, integrity and principles, and she wasn't moved by pressure.
Reply:She was very strong-willed and forged her way through her years as Prime Minister,making the changes that she wanted in the government.
Reply:I think it was a less crude way of saying "she had balls."
Reply:Iron Lady is a nickname that has frequently been used to describe female heads of government around the world. The term describes a "strong willed" woman. This iron metaphor was most famously applied to Margaret Thatcher, nicknamed so in 1976 by the Soviet media for her staunch opposition to communism.
