What Hill Stood For

Good article about Hillary Clinton and the progress made on the rights of women [story]. It is a sad perspective as these women come to realize that a woman as president isn't gonna happen this time around.

I was shocked at this fact...

"The common feeling in America is that women have made it, but we rank a paltry 71st in the world when it comes to women's political representation."

I had no idea we were that low. One good thing though...

"Since Clinton launched her campaign, I have met thousands of these women across the country. They are eager to lead a political life and are stepping up to the plate to seek training and enter politics. And they won't be stepping into unkind waters once they do enter the field: Clinton's race showed that Americans are comfortable with the idea of a woman at the very top, and polls echo the trend."

Yay! Let's see more women enter the political field. There is no reason Washington and other capital cities should be run be rich, white men. It's been 200 years, we should move forward and this campaign showed us that we have.
