Abstract
This paper discusses the life and career of Margaret Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister of Great Britain for 11 years.

This was evident in her long reign of power and in her consistent ability to focus on the goals that she believed would ensure the country's strength. The paper further discusses that strength existed in throughout society, across the globe and in her governmental work. Although there are many that would contend that Thatcher was too powerful in her post, the majority of leaders across the globe believe that she is responsible for the survival of England in numerous ways.

Abstract
This paper deals with Margaret Thatcher's policies implemented in Britain from the 1970's until the 1990's. The paper examines how it changed Britain's political consensus and British society. It studies the consequences of the Iron Lady's strong and radical decisions and leadership. Comparisons with previous conservative governments and Hayek's monetarism are also discussed.
From the Paper
"Coming from a relatively modest social background - she was the daughter of a provincial grocer - Margaret Thatcher became in 1979 the first woman elected to the highest governing function of a country in the developed world. Known as the Iron Lady - an appellation coming from Radio Moscow and which stuck - she then implemented a radical economic and political policy, summarised by the term of "Thatcherism". Her agenda and ideology can be described as "radical", as it drastically broke from the so-called "Post-war consensus" which characterized Britain's governing tradition since 1945. By its nearly authoritarian way of governing, Margaret Thatcher appears as the electroshock which woke Britain up from the depressed torpor it was plunged into for a century, even if the effects of its years at 10 Downing Street must be carefully judged. This essay will observe first that, though Thatcherism, to a certain extent, re-activates and continues certain traditions of the Conservative Party, it constitutes mostly a new perspective and strategy for the Tories as well as a radical fracture from Britain's post-war economical, political and ideological consensus."

We will also look at her prospects for staying in power as the head of the British government.
The daughter of a grocer, Margaret Thatcher was brought up over the store, which is the closest thing the British have to the American log-cabin myth. In fact, her father was a well-to-do grocer, a moral pillar of the local community, and extremely ambitious for his daughter, who attended fee-paying schools and Oxford at his expense. She lacked nothing in political education. Few scions of the English nobility, however high ... "

" "Perhaps no question is as central to political discourse as that of political leadership. For if there is an 'irreducible fact' of politics, it is that in any political society some shall be the rulers and some the ruled" (Dahl & Neubauer, 1968, p. 251). If that fact of consensus exists, it is perhaps the only one that accurately describes what a leader is. Political leadership is a difficult and somewhat nebulous term to define; some define it as a power relation, others a form of influence or persuasion, still others as the effect of individual personalities on the political system as a whole. Political leadership is also associated with both formal and informal organizational systems, organized or unorganized, and in groups of every size (Kellerman, 1986, p. xiii).
In looking at such issues surrounding political leadership (...)"

Political leadership involves many attributes. It often includes a power relationship, a capacity to persuade, as well as intuitive tactical and strategic skills. However political leadership is also framed by an individual's particular emotional and psychological development.

"Political leadership involves many attributes. It often includes a power relationship, a capacity to persuade, as well as intuitive tactical and strategic skills. However political leadership is also framed by an individual's particular emotional and psychological development.
Margaret Thatcher grew up in a small apartment on the top floor of her father's grocery. She entered the political arena at an early age, coaxed along by her father. She often took notes at her father's political meetings, helped out in local election campaigns and worked at Conservative Party headquarters whenever she could (Harris, 1988, p.44). Thatcher was 14 when..."

Abstract
This well-researched paper delves into the history of Britain's film industry which, according to the writer of this paper, was considered second rate in comparison to other countries including Germany, France and the U.S. This paper discusses the film industry's apparent lack of focus primarily during the 1980s, which was a direct result due to the political climate during this particular era. The writer reviews and analyzes British author John Hill's book "British Cinema in the 1980s" which provides in-depth insight to this specific topic. The writer contends and explains why British filmmakers were essentially apathetic and uncaring about Thatcherism and went on to challenge many of the country's values. This paper examines the impact of various films made in England during the 1980s including "Gandhi," "Room With a View" and "Chariots of Fire." This paper also focuses on the cultural conflicts between the older and younger generations in England which greatly impacted the types of films that were produced during at that time. The writer stresses that during the 1980s the older generation stuck by the traditional and old fashioned Victorian morality system which still exists today while the younger generation chose to adhere to a more free-flowing Edwardian type value system.
From the Paper
"There were several opportunistic policies that had been passed, and there was also a growing lack of satisfaction in manual labor. Therefore, it was very evident that in Britain, even at the end of the 1960's and the beginning of the 1970's, there was indeed a large amount of class differences in English society, and society in general was divided into there major classes, which were the upper classes, the middle classes, and the working classes. The divisions were in fact brought about by the differences in wealth, power, and the types of work, the ideologies, the status, and the opportunities that were available. At the same time, this period saw a vast change in the people's attitudes towards traditions, old values, taboos, customs, and the all-pervasive parochialism, and this was the very attitude that was reflected in all the New Age films that were made during that time."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Margaret Thatcher is the only British Prime Minister of the twentieth century to have given her name to an ideology, a set of values and ideas seemingly inseparable from herself. It examines how her premiership, the first by a women, the longest since Lord Liverpool and the most consistently electorally successful since Lord Palmerston, is assured of its place in history. It also discusses whether Thatcherism itself can be considered a populist set of expedient, or a coherent philosophy. It assesses the role of political scientists, economists, circumstance and even her background in Mrs Thatcher's success as well as the significance of Thatcherism in British politics.
From the Paper
"However, Thatcherism undoubtedly had considerable consistency. From 1979 the Thatcher governments reformed the British tax system, not only in attempting to reduce the overall burden but also in changing it to indirect rather than direct in nature. Mrs Thatcher?s most dominant period personally, and perhaps ideologically, was perhaps between 1983 and 1988. Having secured a second term, her reforms most certainly became more coherent. Lawson as Chancellor practised stringent economic liberalism, shedding direct taxation and government spending. Trade Union power was decreased by Tebbitt?s industrial legislation and the defeat of the minors, while the public sector was rapidly scaled down. Owner occupiers went from half to over two thirds of the housing market, privatisation boomed, resulting in the number of shareholders tripling to nine million."

From the Paper
"Mandela and Thatcher. Comparing speeches by Nelson Mandela and Margaret Thatcher is an interesting exercise in discriminating not just political rhetoric but two contrasting styles of thinking and perceiving the world. Mandela became the President of South Africa after enduring decades of imprisonment for his armed struggle against the apartheid racism imposed on black South Africans by the Africans-speaking white minority."

Margaret Walker: A Creative Survivor, 2004.
An analysis of the novel, "Jubilee", by Margaret Walker.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how "Jubilee" was the crowning achievement of Margaret Walker?s career. A sprawling novel about Civil War-era blacks, the novel is simultaneously a preservation of Walker?s family history and an historically accurate portrayal of slavery life for many blacks of the times. In particular, the novel is a testament to Walker as a creative survivor, which she discusses in her essay, ?How I Wrote 'Jubilee'.? It explores how Margaret Walker can be considered a creative survivor in three ways. First, through her dedication and diligence, she kept the "Jubilee" project alive over a span of many years. Secondly, "Jubilee" is the representation of the survival of Walker?s heritage; the novel is her creative way of preserving, not only the history of her family, but also the history of black Americans in the face of historical whitewashing. Finally, in ?How I Wrote Jubilee?, Walker shows how important the creative process is to her own personal survival; it is the lens through which she sees the world and without her creative outlets, she herself could not survive.
From the Paper
"Walker as a creative survivor is also evident in the fact that the project itself is a way to preserve the author?s own history and that of her family. From the beginning, the novel was a labor of love for Walker and her inspiration to write it had more to do with her love for her family than anything else. ?Most of my life I have been involved with writing this story about my great-grandmother, and even if Jubilee were never considered an artistic or commercial success I would still be happy just to have finished it? (Walker 50). The story of the novel was intensely personal, and Walker believed it was her duty to preserve this oral history that had been passed down from her great-grandmother."

Abstract
This paper briefly examines Margaret Newman's history, including the development of her health as expanding consciousness theory. The paper also examines the basic tenets of the theory and discusses two examples of expanding consciousness in nursing practice. Finally, the paper compares and contrasts Newman's theory with that of Martha Rogers' unitary theory.
Table of Contents:
Margaret Newman
The Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness
A Critique of Newman's Theory
Newman's Theory and Rogers' Unitary Theory
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Newman's theory is not particularly accessible to most people in or out of the nursing profession. Neither is it particularly congruent with reality. Referring back to McKenna, this theory does not appear to be a nursing theory as such, because it does not treat nursing as a unique profession (1997, p. 234). McKenna discusses the analysis of 62 nursing theories in terms of how their internal validity would stand up to testing. Of the 62 theories, McKenna indicates that only nine reached adequate levels of empirical testing. In the case of a grand theory such as Newman's empirical testing is difficult at best; it would seem unlikely that sufficient testing could be done to test its validity. In summation, then, while Newman's abstract theory may produce some basis for discussion, as a nursing theory its practical use is negligible."

An examination of the life and career of American feminist Margaret Sanger.

Abstract
This paper looks at how Margaret Sanger?s dedication to birth control as a woman?s right, as depicted in Ellen Chesler?s biography, "Woman of Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America", allies Sanger as an early radical feminist. It examines the personal, professional and political/intellectual experiences and friendships that have shaped and changed these positions over her life, with a focus on her work as a nurse and her relationship with Emma Goldman. Finally, it shows how despite these changing positions, a constant belief throughout her life was that women should have access to birth controlt her life.
From the Paper
"Sanger?s first foray into feminism was through the radical bohemian culture flourishing in pre-war Greenwich Village. Margaret?s husband William Sanger was a Socialist and Margaret became involved with the party?s early efforts to mobilize women members, particularly from women laboring in the garment industry. When the Socialist Party embraced the cause of women?s suffrage, Margaret was put in charge of promoting the vote for women. Records from 1911 show that she participated in distributing leaflets and pamphlets, agitating for the right to vote. However, Margaret became dissatisfied with the focus on suffrage. Many aspects of her personal life and her work as a visiting nurse convinced her that the Socialist focus on suffrage was ?a low priority in the larger struggle of working women for economic and social justice? (59)."
