Margaret Thatcher was elected leader of the Conservative Party in 1975, following a poll of her fellow Conservative MP's beating former PM Ted Heath.

She had never been considered for the leadership before this, and had actually declared that she did not think there would be a woman Prime Minister in her lifetime.

It was when Heath refused to step down that the Tories had to organise a 2-stage ballot, where the front-runners were asked to stand aside first time round, so that the anti-Heath votes could be concentrated on one candidate, who was clearly meant to be a stalking-horse. They chose Thatcher for this, as she was the only candidate of Ministerial rank who had no chance of actually getting elected - being a woman.

But to everyone's surprise, many backbenchers decided to vote for her in the second ballot, and she became the first-ever woman party leader - to the fury of Labour, who felt that this honour would fall to one of theirs.

She is Methodist, for her father was a Methodist lay preacher when she was growing up.

Yes. She was the first female British Prime Minister and led our country safely through the Falklands War.

Are you for real?! Yeah she was great at causing misery and hardship on good hard working people. Yeah she was great at destroying whole communities, she was great at creating mass unemployment. The falklands war was pointless, sending our soldiers to fight for a tiny island just off the coast of Argentina that no one had heard of and before you say about the strategic importance, it's like say if the Argentinians owned the Isle of White, just of our coast and we wanted it back.
