Caroline Slocock was private secretary to Margaret Thatcher - and the only other woman in the room when she resigned to cabinet. She saw her fall very much as a woman surrounded by and undone by men - even though she had little sympathy for many of Thatcher's policies. The moment affected her deeply - and she believes her eventual downfall must be seen as the consequence of a woman's struggles in a man's world.
