In the book "George Bush, Dark Prince of Love" by Lydia Millet, a striking analogy is made about Margaret Thatcher. The author points out that despite her lack of certain essential qualities, Thatcher perceived herself as a transformative and powerful figure, akin to a modern toilet, which symbolizes efficiency and functionality in society.
This self-delusion reflects Thatcher's confidence and determination to assert her influence in a male-dominated political landscape. It highlights the complexity of her character, showing how her self-image drove her decisions and policies during her time in power.
