Hillary Clinton has secured the Democratic Party’s nomination to become the first woman to be put forward for president by a major USA political party.
Mrs Clinton’s nomination was a milestone in America’s 240-year-old history. USA women got the right to vote in 1920 after ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution.
