“Standing here as my mother’s daughter, and my daughter’s mother, I’m so happy this day has come”.

We are ready! We are going to help elect Hillary Rodham Clinton as the first WOMAN president of the United States of America!!! And I remember what my sister said.
The year 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the formation of the National Woman’s Party, which was formed to rally for a national suffrage amendment.
Hillary Clinton’s the first female presidential nominee of a major political party.
That act of defiance got written up across the country, including in Life, and created a buzz around Hillary Rodham long before most Americans would learn the name of her eventual husband.
One notable difference is the gender expectation that elocution augments men’s power, but harms women’s.
Not only was it a historic moment, we’re thrilled.
– That, by marking this moment, I approve of everything Hillary has ever done, said, or believed. She was the first woman to be nominated for the post. “It was substance and optimism, and all of the people that spoke before her really did a handsome job, too”. Because a female voice had not been heard before from behind that desk or that podium, it is often judged severely, to a standard impossible to meet.
Two young women, Claire Ramage and Holly Scala, both 22 of Reno, said they understood the concern and didn’t disagree.
Even though women are interrupted more often and talk less than men, people still think women talk more. Like all generalities, it’s partially true, partially exaggerated, yet it seems to describe Clinton’s approach to governing. But ultimately, the women who break these barriers are admired for the same things people like about Clinton: their grit, tenacity and, indeed, their willingness to be unpopular and unconventional. Stronger together. Join us.
Any woman from New Jersey who caught her husband cheating and lying about it would never stay married to the guy.
According to Clinton, Trump is “forgetting every last one of us”.
Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman in the United States.
This presidential campaign has upended that order and reversed the stereotype, sending it packing down the Potomac.
Clinton struggled to keep command of the arena.
But there is more that just strategy here.
Various factors contribute to this disconnection between admiration of Clinton and affection for her, but the most convincing explanation is her singular role as a woman at the highest level of American government. According to her, all of those years doing public service, the “service” part comes easier for her than the “public” part.
Angela Merkel, whom the New Yorker hailed as “the quiet German”, has been ridiculed for her lack of oratorical charisma, being described as monotone and soporific and about as rousing as watching paint dry. Since the question was first asked by Gallup in 1948, Clinton has been top rated more than any other woman, besting even Mother Teresa; only Eleanor Roosevelt comes close, having been rated most-admired for 13 years in the 1940s and 1950s.
