Margaret Roberts was born on 13th October 1925 in the small town of Grantham in the north of England. Margaret’s father, Alfred, was a self-educated man who had been forced to leave school at fourteen. He worked his way into the grocery business until he owned his own shop, above which the Roberts’ family lived. Margaret’s mother, Beatrice, a women of little ambition, had been a seamstress. Alfred and Beatrice gave birth to another daughter, Muriel, in 1929. The sisters were brought up in a serious, practical and religious environment.
Margaret was educated at Kesteven & Grantham Girls’ School, before proceeding to Oxford University to read chemistry. In 1943 Margaret became the president of the Oxford University Conservative Association, the first women to hold the position.
After several unsuccessful attempts to become a member of parliament (MP), Margaret married Denis Thatcher, a wealthy businessman of the chemicals industry, in 1951. Two years later they gave birth to twins, Mark and Carol.
In 1959, Margaret Thatcher was elected member of parliament for Finchley, near London. Unusually, parliamentarians took favour to the bill proposed in her maiden speech in the House of Commons, 1960, which duly became legislation. Within just two years she had been appointed parliamentary secretary at the Ministry of Pensions.
