No one under the age of 35 was even alive when she was prime minister. And yet of all our post-Second World War premiers, her legacy reigns supreme and dominates many aspects of our society and politics today. For good or ill.

This is you in 1883, @AgnesChambre!

Theo van Rysselberghe's double portrait (1883) depicts the sisters of his friend the painter Willy Schlobach; with Rysselberghe he went on to become one of the founder members of the Begian avant-garde group of artists Les XX. https://t.co/nOQ3NyjA0l
