{"product_id":"9780007456628","title":"The Path to Power by Margaret Thatcher","description":"The extraordinary account of Margaret Thatcher's life up to her dramatic election as the first woman Prime Minister of England in 1979.             Margaret Thatcher was the towering figure of late-twentieth-century British politics. This is the story of her remarkable life in her own words.             In this second volume of her memoirs, following `The Downing Street Years', she writes candidly about the experiences that propelled her to the very top in a man's world. Beginning with her upbringing in Grantham, she goes on to describe her Oxford years, marriage to Denis, and entry into Parliament at a time when there were no more than a handful of women MPs. Rising through the ranks to Education Secretary and then Leader of the Opposition, she led the Conservative Party to a historic victory in the 1979 general election, becoming Britain's first female prime minister.             Margaret Thatcher's compelling account stands as a powerful testament to her influential legacy.             Although `The Path to Power' is not available as an ebook, the ebook `Margaret Thatcher: The Autobiography' (ISBN 978-0-00-741694-3) comprises abridged versions of this and the second volume of Thatcher's memoirs, `The Downing Street Years'.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56220491088245,"sku":"9780007456628","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780007456628.jpg?v=1762188449","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780007456628","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
