WHEN THE glass ceiling BREAKS
Maggie Thatcher has a lot to resolve for.
The former (and first female) Prime Minister of Great britain from 1979 to 1990 seemed to be the longest-serving PM in modern times. Respected and reviled for her tough stance and unbending will, she epitomised what folks did not like about ladies in power. Tough. Arrogant. Unsympathetic. And yet, she was without doubt successful.
What most people usually do not consider is that Mrs Thatcher (it’s doubtful she would have been happy with “Ms”) had merely a male construct of management and power on which to model herself.
You could title on one hand the number of women who had been leaders of their country (without being born into the position) prior to Thatcher. The only real model of how to direct a country was written by guys over enturies.
And men are dissimilar to women.
Yes, Maggie was a forerunners. She broke through "the glass ceiling", in which metaphorical barrier that tantalised women and kept them from opportunities of real power. Called “The Iron Lady”, Margaret challenged the particular public’s (unrealistic?) expectation that a lady in power would have any heart. There has never already been a question that a man needs to have a heart in the exact same circumstances.
Thatcher was tough as well as unwavering … just like the majority of man political leaders around the world and thru history.
In the 21st century we have a expanding body of female role models in leadership roles that are redefining the very concept of leadership. Precisely because we have more women in powerful positions than ever before. As a consequence, we are able to investigate the ‘rules’ of what it is to be a leader. Margaret Thatcher did not have in which luxury. She was a trailblazer there was enormous pressure to perform … because she was a lady.
Those women have got to in which position because other females, like Maggie Thatcher, have gone before to be able to blaze the trail.
As with any other trailblazer, it is expected which others who come after will certainly improve and do issues differently. Yet, if it are not for those who go before, average folks would take longer to move forward.
It has to be remembered that women have only been in the workforce inside large numbers since the late 1940’s. Within the 1950’s we were encouraged to step out of the workforce and go back to be dutiful wives, mothers, daughters.
We all know how hard it is to put something back in its package after we’ve taken it out.
And thus in the 1960’s women were ‘liberated’ as well as the concept of a working life for women, even a career, was made attainable. (There are notable exceptions for example when one had to resign if one became married, and certainly pregnant).
So, bear in mind that women have only 50 years of serious staff participation and the growth have been rapid to the point where few, if any, occupations are definitely out-of-bounds. Ladies have raced up the leadership ladder over the past twenty years and now we have raised participation at the top echelons of firms and politics although Panel roles are still under-represented by females.
Much of this is thanks to females like Maggie Thatcher.
Politics aside, really like her or loath her, she was a feminist by the woman's very exemplar. She, and others just like her, made it possible for women today to ignorantly say, “I’m not a feminist and I don’t have confidence in feminism”. The only reason they have the freedom to think that their role like a fire-fighter or a senior manager is “the norm” and totally on merit is really because women like Thatcher went through the difficult yards and stood against the tide to normalise women’s experiences nowadays.
Maggie broke the Glass Ceiling. Doing that takes a solid sense of self.
