Step 1 : Introduction to the question "6. "It will be years - not in my time - before a woman will become Prime Minister." Which future world leader managed to contradict her own statement in 1979, a mere ten years after it was made?"

...1. Indira Gandhi 2. Edith Cresson 3. Jenny Shipley 4. Margaret Thatcher Contradicting oneself is not unusual for a politician of course, but it seems strange that such a forceful personality as Thatcher should have shown such a lack of faith in her ability. Thatcher challenged existing Conservative Party leader, Edward Heath, in 1975 having been put forward as the stalking horse candidate. Thatcher showed much more strongly in the initial ballot then anyone predicted, outpolling Heath, and the momentum she had gained carried through to the second round of voting in which she won the leadership battle. Four years later, the Labour government of Jim Callaghan toiled and spluttered through the "Winter of Discontent" as unemployment rose and public services succumbed to strike action. He suffered the rare ignominy of being thrown out of office on a vote of no confidence. Thatcher was swept to power with a Conservative majority of 44 in the House of Commons, thus becoming the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It was the first of three election wins for the Tories under Thatcher before she was deposed in a style similar to that which she inflicted on Heath. It brought an end to eleven years in power for Thatcher, a period in which she inspired devotion and loathing in equal measure. One year after Thatcher's election as Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi was elected as Prime Minister of India for the second time, having become the country's first female Prime Minister in 1966. Edith Cresson was France's first female Prime Minister, rising to the office in 1991 and Jenny Shipley became the first female Prime Minister of New Zealand in 1997.
