Housewife-politician
是政治家也是家庭主妇
Thatcher became shadow environment secretary but, angered by what she saw as Heath's U-turns on Conservative economic policy, stood against him for the Tory leadership in 1975.
撒切尔夫人随后出任影子内阁环境事务大臣。出于对希思的保守经济政策大转弯的不满,1975年她向希思的保守党领袖地位发起挑战。
When she went into Heath's office to tell him her decision, he did not even bother to look up. "You'll lose," he said. "Good day to you."
当她走进希思办公室告诉他她的决定时,希思甚至连头都没抬。“你肯定会输,”希思说。“祝你好运。”
To everyone's surprise, she defeated Heath on the first ballot, forcing his resignation, and she saw off Willie Whitelaw on the second ballot to become the first woman to lead a major British political party.
出乎所有人的意料,她在第一轮中就击败了希思,希思被迫辞职。她又在第二轮投票中压倒了威廉•怀特劳,成为英国主要政党的第一位女性领袖。
She quickly began to make her mark. A 1976 speech criticising the repressive policies of the Soviet Union led to a Russian newspaper dubbing her "the Iron Lady," a title which gave her much personal pleasure.
她很快就出了名。1976年,撒切尔夫人在一次演讲中批评苏联的压制性政策,一家俄文报纸给她起了个“铁娘子”的称号,这一称号给撒切尔本人带来不少欢乐。
