Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher became Britain's first female Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street in 1979 — the grocer's daughter from Grantham who transformed British society through radical free-market policies over eleven years in power.

Grantham Museum preserves the legacy of the town's most famous daughter Margaret Thatcher — the grocer's girl from North Parade who became Britain's first female Prime Minister is honoured here.
