From the article: Ive done some internet searches and cannot find Michelle Vitalione online, nor can I find the origin of this meme, however it was posted on the Daily Kos Facebook page Thursday morning. Hopefully Michelle Vitalione and/or the meme creator will come forward to claim the credit.

But imagine it wasnt Trump who was the conduit for this anger. Imagine it was a woman. Picture a woman up there on the podium last night shouting over her rival, jabbing her finger in the air, denying shed said things there was ample evidence of online that she had said. Imagine a completely inexperienced woman insisting she had better political nous than someone who had been at the forefront of politics for decades. And, of course, you cant: it is, literally, beyond imagination.
Sarah Palin, whatever her flaws later proved to be, had actual - and successful - political experience. She also was parachuted in as a vice-presidential candidate, which is very different from making it through the presidential primaries.
If Trumps political rise is an expression of rage, that it is Trump a white man whose entire existence is built on inherited mega-wealth up against a woman emphasises how this rage has nothing to do with righting liberal mistakes and everything to do with restoring the old structures.
...
Of course, even some of Clinton supporters have already described her as too smug, too straight, and all those other things people say when they mean too obviously smart for a woman. Chuck Todd, from the ostensibly neutral network NBC, actually complained that Clinton seemed over-prepared. Because nobody likes a woman who performs too well, guys.

(1 post)4. Creator and source
The creator of this meme is Sara Lynn Michener, a feminist writer from San Diego, and she is rightly upset that Daily Kos and similar sites have shared her meme without attribution. OP is very thoughtful to have inquired about the creator of the meme. I have not been able to identify Michelle Vitalione; I sent an email to Ms. Michener (who I do not know) but have not gotten a reply so far.
