As it turns out, I spent a rainy Sunday afternoon finally watching The Iron Lady. My neighbor lent it to me awhile ago, but I kept putting it off as boring. Or as mom said, "Who wants to look at that hairstyle for over an hour!" But I admit the movie was interesting and I learned a bit. Some of the key points were a bit lost on me, and had Wikipedia been by my side I would have been able to put some of the timeline events in context. Came back to the internet after a day of field work and noticed she passed away. Crazy timing . . . Here are just 2 interesting articles. One a friend flagged and the other some quotes and covers of the Economist.
