Yes, and it is an important story. As I pointed out, my main objection to Stanton had to do with chronology. I have tried to put on a few more women whose achievements likely forwarded the cause more than political agitation, such as Marie Curie. I consider it to be a subordinate story, I admit, to the more general progress of modernization........I will think more about it, though........Oh, and good afternoon to you!

Edwarda, without denying the emerging roles of women in the century, I think it is incorrect to say that Thatcher could not have had her place otherwise. She was preceded by other rather remarkable Englishwomen. Elizabeth and Victoria come to mind.

I beg to differ. Lady Thatcher springs from a national tradition of superlative women leadership dating from Elizabeth I.

She would likely have excelled in any event and under any historical circumstances. At least in England she would have.
