Theresa May Emerge Britain’s second female Prime Minister

In what we describe as taking giant strides to become a powerful figure in the political sphere with stance on general issues concerning the world at large, women have continued to take the lead in the major facets of life. Barely few months after Hillary Clinton emerged as the first woman to be the presidential nominee for a major partyin the United States of America; Theresa May’s name will be recorded in the history books as the second most powerful person after Queen Elizabeth II in Britain. Theresa May has been appointed as Britain’s new Prime Minister. This announcement was made on the 13th of July 2016.
It is indeed a new order for women around the world with women in power;as this will enable us have access to platforms needed to directly address the issues that affect us.
The 60 year old British politicianis Britain’s second female Prime Minister, following the footsteps of fellow Tory PM, Margaret Thatcher. As it is traditional for a new Prime Minister, she was ushered in to Downing Street by staff and aides with a welcome clap.
Even though her appointment has been criticized for a number of reasons.Sheactively supports a variety of campaigns on policy issues in her constituency and at the national level of politics. She has spoken at the Fawcett Society promoting the cross-party issue of gender equality.
No wonder May was nominated as one of the Society’s Inspiring Women of 2006.
Says;
“The government I lead will be driven, not by the interests of the privileged few but by yours. We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives. When we take the big calls we will think not of the powerful, but you. When we pass new laws we will listen not to the mighty, but to you. When it comes to taxes we will priorities not the wealthy, but you. When it comes to opportunity we won’t entrench the advantages of the fortunate few, we will do everything we can to help anybody, whatever your background, to go as far as your talents will take you.”
This is a new feat for women and a significant crack in the proverbial glass ceiling. We are indeed excited about the contagious effect and what is likely to unfold.
