Challenges Margaret Thatcher faced as a woman?
score:4
Accepted answer
Actually, I think the main challenge she had - pace Tyler Durden - was when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. No one at the time saw a female PM as a potential war leader - even a little war, and assumed she would opt for negotiation. She didn't. And, whilst I'm in the 50% that loathed her, she was subject to sexist abuse - "hitting people with her handbag" , "grocer's daughter", cartoons with iron spikes for breasts - which no male politician would have experienced.
