Abstract

The conference asekd "Why does Margaret Thatcher remain such a powerfully iconic figure and what does this tell us about contemporary feminism?"; "What has been the legacy of Thatcherism for the cultural politics of class?"; How has Thatcherism been represented and mediated in popular culture?"; "To what extent have Thatcherism and post-Thatcherism problematised feminist politics and culture?" and "In what ways does the re-telling of the 1980s in contemporary film and TV compare to stories produced during that decade?". The Keynote Speakers were Heather Nunn, Jackie Stacey and Beverley Skeggs.
