45 years ago She Misattributed Saint Francis



54-year-old Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Margaret Thatcher, originally Margaret Hilda Roberts aka The Iron Lady is inaugurated as Prime Minister in 10 Downing Street, Westminster, London, Greater London, United Kingdom.

Arriving at Downing Street Thatcher said, paraphrasing the misattributed Prayer of Saint Francis: "Where there is discord, may we bring harmony; Where there is error, may we bring truth; Where there is doubt, may we bring faith; And where there is despair, may we bring hope." In office throughout the 1980s Thatcher was frequently described as the most powerful woman in the world.
