May, the former home secretary, is Britain’s second female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher, who ran the country between 1979 and 1990. She is expected to announce members of her cabinet Wednesday evening.
In a speech read in front of No. 10 Downing Street, May pledged to battle ‘social injustice’ and create a ‘country that works for everyone.’
