Women in Media and History

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, was nicknamed 'The Duchess of Pork' by the British tabloid press, likely due to fluctuations in her weight and public scrutiny of her appearance.

Mother Teresa was called the 'Saint of the Gutters' because she dedicated her life to working with the poorest of the poor in the slums and gutters of Kolkata (Calcutta), India. She founded the Missionaries of Charity and spent over 45 years serving the dying, the destitute, and those society had abandoned, living among them in the most desperate conditions.

Margaret Thatcher earned the nickname 'The Iron Lady' from a Soviet journalist for her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Britain's first female Prime Minister, she was known for her firm stance on issues like trade unions, privatization, and foreign policy, earning both devoted supporters and fierce critics who admired or feared her resolute approach to governance.
