She was the architect of modern Britain. Legacy includes a painful process of curbing trade union power and renewing industry.

I wonder how much of her legacy will be based on fact and how much on the movie "The Iron Lady."

— @MRThurstin

An Iron Lady needed to appear because male politicians failed to lead.

— @AuthorFrankS

She completely ruined a once-proud country. Industries such as coal mining, steel and car production are gone.

— @russhaywood1

Thatcher was a one-of-a-kind leader like Ronald Reagan.

— @mnoormo1

Baroness Thatcher wouldn't have asked for this legacy, but I think she also proved there's no glass ceiling for women.

— @ssabcj

Since few people read history today, most younger people don't know her. Thus her greatness will be editorially minimized.
