People Like Us: Margaret Thatcher and Me - Hardcover

by Caroline Slocok (Author)

As a young civil servant, Caroline Slocock went to work at No. 10 Downing Street during the final eighteen months of Margaret Thatcher's premiership. As a left-leaning graduate, she was against much of what she stood for, but became fascinated by the challenges Thatcher faced as a powerful woman, and the way that she was demonised.
