Error Correction: Biographical Chronology
Born in a small village in the north of England, Margaret Thatcher’s early years were marked by hardship. At the age of ten, she moved to London with her family to pursue better educational opportunities. It was not until her late twenties that she began her political career, initially serving as a Member of Parliament in the West Midlands. During her tenure, she became the first woman to hold the office of Prime Minister in the United Kingdom in 1979. Her leadership was notable for implementing conservative economic policies and strengthening the UK’s position on the international stage. After serving three consecutive terms, she retired from politics in 1990. Margaret Thatcher’s legacy remains influential, with her policies continuing to shape British politics today. Her death occurred in 2013, marking the end of an era.
