I chose Margaret Thatcher because she was a very interesting person. She was a very powerful woman, she knew what she wanted and had a clear vision to achieve this. 

I think you can link her to the profile Economics. Why? Because she was a Prime Minister. Her first interest was her country, the United Kingdom. She had to take a lot of decisions to make the United Kingdom a wealthy country.
