Obama: Thatcher Was Champion for Freedom and Women

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says former British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher was both a great champion of freedom and an
example to women everywhere.
In a statement issued Monday by the White House, Obama said Britain's
first woman prime minister showed "our daughters that there is no glass
ceiling that can't be shattered."
Obama says many Americans remember Thatcher, who died Monday from a
stroke at age 87, standing "shoulder to shoulder" with President Ronald
Reagan during the Cold War. He says she showed then that leaders don't
have to be swept along by the currents of history, but can shape them
"with moral conviction, unyielding courage and iron will."
