political leaders: Their appearances, behavior and opinions are endlessly questioned and scrutinized, according to MSNBC. Despite it all, they’ve stood tall on the global stage and continued to shape the political arena. But for women, succeeding as political leaders – whether in local government or the highest offices in their countries – often comes at a price. Here are five political leaders we should know about:* *Theresa May, Home Secretary, United Kingdom* As the UK Home Secretary since 2010, May is responsible for the UK internal affairs, as well as immigration and citizenship. As Chair of the Global Partnership for Education, she advocates for women rights and emphasizes girls’ education as key to a thriving global economy. *Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister, Scotland* In 2014, Sturgeon became the first female to be appointed as Scotland First Minister. May has presided over some of the UK most critical challenges – including an increased terrorist threat and the current immigration crisis. *Julia Gillard, Former Prime Minister, Australia* Serving as Australia first female Prime Minister from 2010-2013, Gillard introduced significant nation-building legislation such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme and initiated far-reaching developments in foreign and economic policy.
