Abstract
In this chapter, Hadley considers the images of Thatcher that proliferated after her death, from the official picture tributes that appeared to the unofficial cartoons. These images again focus on the person of Thatcher, often singling her out to emphasise her role as an exceptional woman. Hadley explores how these images draw on Thatcher’s own performance of her public image and use aspects of Thatcher’s personae to represent elements of her politics and her legacy.
