and another entry. ...
"Harriet Harman's officials have been forced to change a government fact sheet celebrating "women in power" which did not name Margaret Thatcher.
The Equalities Office "milestones" list names Labour politicians like Diane Abbott and Baroness Scotland.
But it did not mention Lady Thatcher by name, saying only: "1979: UK's first woman prime minister".
An Equalities Office spokesman said: "We have acknowledged the oversight and have taken steps to amend it."
He said Lady Thatcher's name would be added to the document, one of a number of fact sheets produced by officials in Ms Harman's Government Equalities Office celebrating the achievements of women and ethnic minorities.
Asked whether the "Women in Power: Milestones" list, which is on the Equalities Office website, was an example of party political bias in a government document, he said: "There really isn't much more to say about this."
The fact sheet begins in 1907 with "First woman councillor elected in Britain - Reina Emily Lawrence" through to modern firsts for women such as Labour peer Baroness Uddin becoming the "first Muslim woman in the House of Lords" in 1998 and Labour's Baroness Amos becoming the first black woman Cabinet member in 2003.
In addition to being the first female prime minister, Lady Thatcher was also the first woman to lead a British political party when she took over the Conservatives in 1975 and the 20th century's longest serving prime minister, winning three general elections.
Here is the full un-amended list of "women in power" that was published on the government website:
