On several occasions, when Margaret Thatcher is speaking in the House of Commons, the camera pans the house and no other female MPs are shown. The House of Commons had 19 female MPs in 1979, when Thatcher became Prime Minister, and 66 in 1992, just after she retired. In an article in the Daily Mail, dated January 9, 2011, director Phyllida Lloyd said, "I've deliberately put no other women in the shots. There were, in fact, 19 female MPs by the time she became Prime Minister, but we are trying to show not how it was to the objective eye but how it felt from her point of view. Ours is a collection of very selective memories, of a life of a woman formed by the Second World War and permanently at war, her life played out as a series of battles."
