Margaret Thatcher was a woman who achieved greatness because she followed her calling of passion for politics. She didn't mind making tough decisions. She left behind a legacy that will probably never be matched.  There is no doubt that at times Margaret Thatcher faced fear, but I think she harnessed it by standing her ground and being a leader.  Margaret Thatcher probably would wholeheartedly agree with General George Patton's quote - "You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals."  Oh, if the United States had conservative leaders like the "iron Lady."
