If you think politics are for men, you’ve never heard of Margaret Thatcher. As the first Britain’s female prime minister, she saved her country in an unsettled time of political disharmony and economic recession which defined her legacy.

“I don’t work, I’m a princess”, this phrase died the second our beloved Diana became Princess of Wales. This woman wasn’t only about looks, in fact, she attracted the media’s attention by her charity work for sick children, by banning of landmines and raising awareness about HIV/AIDS and even mental illness and body image. Diana taught us to stand for ourselves and become outspoken confident women. All these women changed the world each in their own way. Therefore, just remember to reach for the stars and keep going forward because no one can beat the person who never gives up.
