While not everyone is going to have to same reaction to this photo, it gives me Goosebumps. There is some extraordinary footage of Thatcher in a meeting room inside the shipyards in Gdansk talking with members of the strike leadership (from the PBS Special: The Commanding Heights) which, in retrospect, clearly shows the course of history starting to turn. Ideas do matter, and people who believe in ideas can change the world.
