It does matter to see a woman in power, but I think it matters even more to see a woman exercise power, and how
Yes, but also when I was 12 and living in a small town, firtly I was too young to think about how she exercised her power, and secondly, there wasn't anyone else to see being a woman in power. Obviously, now it's different, but back then, Thatcher was it for me - she was someone who grew up like I did in some ways, and got to be powerful, which was about the sum total of what I knew about her. I don't know.
