Hillary Clinton talks sexism in politics in speech at U.Va.
Hillary Clinton talks sexism in politics in speech at U.Va.
Former Secretary of State Clinton delivered the closing remarks for the Women’s Global Leadership Forum to a packed Old Cabell Hall
By Alexis Gravely | 11/15/2017
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was warmly welcomed to Grounds Tuesday afternoon with a standing ovation to deliver the closing remarks for the Women’s Global Leadership Forum, hosted by the University’s Morven Programs. Her speech was titled, “Women and 21st Century Democracy: The Path Forward.”
The auditorium of Old Cabell Hall, which seats about 850 people, was nearly filled to capacity.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) highlighted the various leadership roles Clinton has held in his introduction of her. Clinton was most recently the Democratic nominee during the 2016 presidential election and the first woman to run as a major party’s candidate for the White House. Clinton has also been the first lady of Arkansas, first lady of the United States and a U.S. senator from New York.
“This woman has been an advocate her entire life for women and children,” McAuliffe said. “As Secretary of State, her voice was always heard all around the globe. She has been a trailblazer her entire life.”
