Theresa May, the second female Britain's prime minister following Margaret Thatcher, revealed
in 2013 that she had been given a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, a condition that requires daily insulin
injections Asked later how she felt about the diagnosis, she said her approach to it was the same as
toward everything in her life: “Just get on and deal with it.” That kind of steeliness brought her to center stage in the aftermath of Britain's vote to leave the European Union and the feuding that erupted in the Conservative Party over who would succeed David Cameron
Ms May, 59 years old, is the country's longest-serving home secretary in half a century, with a reputation for seriousness, hardwork and above all, determination She is one of a growing number of women in traditionally male-dominated British politics rising to the upper position of leadership
Born in 1956, Ms May grew up mainly in Oxfordshire, an only child who was first drawn to the Conservative Party at age 12 As a conscientious student, she never rebelled against her religious upbringing and remains a regular churchgoer Tellingly, her sports hero was Geoffrey Boycott, a solid, stubborn cricketer who specialized in playing the long game
Like many other Britain's prime minister including Tony Blair, Sir Robert Peel and Margaret Thatcher, she won a place at Oxford But while almost every other political leader got there by way of
Eton College and joined Oxford's hedonistic Bullingdon Club, she attended a state secondary school and
had a more sedate university career After unsuccessful attempts to be elected to the House of Commons
in 1992 and 1994, she finally became an MP in 1997 general election
May is known for a love of fashion and in particular distinctive shoes She even wore leopard-print shoes to her final Cabinet meeting as Home Secretary in early 2016 However, she has been quite critical
