THERESA MAY: GODMOTHER / CHIBALA, CHE

A WOMAN WITH THE TOUGHEST JOB IN POLITICSIn July 2016 after replacing David Cameron as the leader of the Conservative Party she became the second woman prime minister of the United Kingdom in British history, after Margaret Thatcher who was prime minister from 1979-1990. Even before entering Downing Street, she made history by becoming the second longest serving home secretary in the past 100 years. At 59, Mrs. May is the oldest leader to enter Downing Street since James Callaghan in 1976 and will be the first prime minister since Ted Heath who does not have children. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past two years, you've probably heard the term 'Brexit' and know it's shorthand for Britain's exit from the European Union. It is good to first understand the history of the European Union to better appreciate what is happening.To the shock of the world and to almost half of its own citizens, the U.K. voted to exit the European Union in June 2016. Britain and the European Union have had a turbulent relationship for some time, culminating in the historic 2016 referendum by the United Kingdom that determined it would leave the EU. While the UK is now on its journey towards Brexit, it remains plagued by deep divisions on how to best shape its future.If you're living in Britain, the issue might weigh heavy on your mind, but do people in the rest of the world care about Brexit? What do people in other countries think of Brexit?Female, but not feminist, getting to the top is hard. But doing politics differently is the PM’s real challenge. Theresa May started her new job as Britain’s prime minister from atop piles of headlines ruminating the significance of her sex. For weeks, we teetered on the brink of having a really interesting debate about doing politics differently, only to be drawn back to discuss her shoes and her lack of children. This is the reality of being a woman in politics. But it does not have to be. For women to see other women in positions of power is significant, no matter where on the political spectrum you sit. But for a woman’s power to be truly consequential, she must wield it with an understanding of how it will affect the lives of other women. And it is important to remember that not all women leaders are feministsDo Britons regret Brexit? Or have they just doubled down on their intentions since the vote? Do they just want it to be over? And you can see not only why British Prime Minister Theresa May is having such a hard time finding a deal that will please all parts of society and why even a second referendum might prove difficult, too.
