Résumé :
Caroline Slocock's time as a young civil servant often positioned her as the only other woman in the room in the final eighteen months of Margaret Thatcher's government. This account of that period is based on Slocock's diaries at the time, and reflects on the uneasy position of Thatcher in relation to female aspiration.
