London 2008. I sin vackra våning förbereder den åldrade före detta premiärministern Margaret Thatcher frukost till sin man Denis, precis som hon har gjort varje morgon av sitt gifta liv. Men Denis lever bara i hennes fantasi. Fångad i en frustrerande passiv tillvaro och kämpandes mot sin sviktande hälsa, överöses Margaret med minnen. Fragment av privatliv och karriär trängs i hennes hjärna och hon återupplever dem med levande intensitet. Medan hon kämpar för att behålla kontakten med verkligheten, retas och kivas Denis med henne. Kampen, triumferna, sveken – vad åstadkom hon till slut? Och var det värt de uppoffringar hon fick göra?

Mackenzie Allen has a lot on her plate -- she has twin teenagers, a 6-year-old at home and an ambitious husband at the office, and she is about to become the first female president of the United States. Before that happens, however; Mackenzie, who serves as vice president, has to decide whether or not to go against the dying wishes of the current president, who has asked her to step down and let someone "more appropriate" fill his shoes in the Oval Office. Not only does the president want her to resign, so does the entire party that elected her in the first place. But when the moment of truth arrives, Mackenzie isn't willing to be a mere footnote in history. Instead of allowing her detractors to keep her down, she decides to trust her instincts and accept the most powerful job in the world.
