Publisher's Synopsis Combining new research undertaken by production company Brook Lapping for the ITV series MAGGIE with her own analysis Brenda Maddox traces the life of the grocer's daughter from Grantham who became the most successful Conservative Prime Minister of the twentieth century. Unprecedented access to people who have known her throughout her life (some who have never spoken before) enables the author to paint a fully rounded portrait of a woman who is still both vilified and adored. What kind of person was she that she could overcome her background the snobbery of Oxford University and then of the Conservative Party? Brenda Maddox's achievement is show how the Iron Lady created herself with the strong assistance of both parents and her husband. Through the eyes of her contemporaries we begin to understand this extraordinary woman whose shadow still falls accross British life.
