How exactly does the British government release a document on milestones for women in politics and leave out Margaret Thatcher’s name? This is what the “Equality Office” there has done.
The only reference to her is: “1979: UK’s first woman Prime Minister.” But her name is pointedly omitted. By contrast Shreela Flather is mentioned twice as the first Asian woman councillor and first Asian woman peer. Britain’s first black woman mayor Lydia Simmons is also given a name check.
