her actions and policies. Primary deviance is an episode of deviant behavior that many people participate in. Margaret Thatcher became a ‘different woman’ at
that time because it was already forming in her family background, especially by her father.
In the very beginning of The Iron lady movie clearly told that Margaret was different from the others girl in her period of life. She did
not like to help her mother in the kitchen. She also did not like the activities and the way of dressing by other girls in her town. Instead of
fussing for dressing up like others girls, Margaret prefers to listen to her father’s speech as mayor of Grantham. Margaret greatly admired her
father. One of her father’s quotations that deeply inherent to Margaret is; “Never run with the crowds, Margaret.
Go your own way”
These words drive Margaret in her unshakeable decisions. She was really an unwavering leader. She was a true
“The Iron Lady”. However, the instrumental song of Ave Maria at the end of this movie is illustrated
that Margaret was a suffering mother and leader. She was a mother that was fighting and suffering at the same time. She was glorious but
abandoned also. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

movie applies post-feminism theory through the way she interacts with another gender. Post-feminism was one of the interesting issues to be
discussed. There were four post-feminist characteristics which help the researcher to know whether Margaret applies post-feminism theory in the

49 During the analyzed process, the researcher enjoyed every
invention related to the post-feminist ideology. The very interesting topic on post-feminism is not about gender equality anymore but it is about how
to work together in the gender diversity. This was the sense that exactly applied in the language used by Margaret Thatcher in the movie. After the
data analyzes, the researcher found that Margaret Thatcher represented the four of post-feminism characteristics in the way she interacts with others
gender. Based on the four types of post-feminist characteristics, the
researcher found that characteristic of “Focus on the Individual” was the
very often applied in the languages used by Margaret Thatcher. It was because of the personal characteristics of Margaret Thatcher; she has a
very big political ambition, bravery, and high self-confidence. Those aspects shaped her personality into unshakeable person both in heart and
mind. The second characteristic that strongly applied in the language used
by Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady movie is the “Revival of
Traditional Femininities. ” This is about motherhood. Besides her political
ambition, Margaret also is a family lover. She is a life keeper that which is the basic characteristic of every woman, mother, and wife. As a great
leader of the great United Kingdom, she still lives out her traditional femininities.
50 The third strong characteristics that applied
in Margaret’ languages is
“General Rejection of Second Wave Feminism.” This characteristic is emphasizing on togetherness in the gender diversity. At the first, many
people underestimated Margaret’s capability as a woman to be on the members of parliament. However, Margaret has proved that she could
work together with another gender for almost twelve years. She proved it through the post-feminist characteristic according to the post feminism
theory. The last post-feminist characteristic that applied in the language
used by Margaret in The Iron Lady movie is the “Female Identity Crisis.”
The researcher just found less than five occurrences of this characteristic in the languages used by Margaret Thatcher. It is mean that Margaret as a
post-feminist figure is never feeling doubt in every action of her political policies. She knows exactly why, when, and where she has to go.
The second problem formulation is about the reactions of people to Margaret’s political decisions. There were two general types of people
reactions found in the languages used by Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady movie. The types were namely internal reactions and external
reactions. Internal reactions were consisting of two doers of reaction; from her family and her party members, while external reactions were also
consisting of two doers of reactions; her oppositional party and wide public rebellion. Most of the reactions of the people were in the form of
soft reactions which are done in words only both in personal and public, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
