Never one to shirk a challenge (travel or otherwise), this month Streep takes on the role of iconic British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in her latest screen incarnation, The Iron Lady; she’s also taken up an important cause, pushing Congress to fund construction of the long-debated National Women’s History Museum. With both matters close to her heart and at the top of her mind, we captured all the behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot and sat down with the two-time Academy Award winner (and several U.S. senators working on the museum project) to talk about women, power, and the importance of preserving and promoting our country’s history.
