As Amy posted earlier today, Margaret Thatcher has died. She was Britain’s first and only woman Prime Minister, crashing the ancient iron gates of patriarchal politics. Though her actions can be seen as a feminist victory, she herself was not a feminist. She oncesaid,
“The battle for women’s rights has largely been won. The days when they were demanded and discussed in strident tones should be gone forever. I hate those strident tones we hear from some Women’s Libbers.”
In case you need more proof of her anti-feminism, here’s another gem from the “Iron Lady”:
‘The feminists hate me, don’t they? And I don’t blame them. For I hate feminism. It is poison.”
