On the night the first woman ever secured enough delegates to win a major party’s nomination for president, Jennifer Rosen-Heinz watched her little girl jump around their living room in Madison, Wis., in celebration. Seven-year-old Lilly’s enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton’s success wasn’t motivated by ideology or party. Rather, the little girl saw on the television the promise of what she could someday be.

Rosen-Heinz, a Clinton supporter but unaffiliated with the campaign, was so moved by her daughter’s aspirations that she decided to share Lilly’s desired name change with the Clinton campaign. She went to the website, clicked the “Contact Us” link and filled out a standard online form.
“Thank you, Hillary … for shattering that glass ceiling for ALL girls and women in this country,” Rosen-Heinz wrote in closing. “Lilly dreams of making real change not despite being a girl, but BECAUSE she’s a girl, and she knows her possibilities are infinite.” She signed it casually, “Jennifer.”
“I didn’t expect it to be read,” Rosen-Heinz said in an interview. “But I wanted the message to get to someone that [Hillary’s campaign] is deeply moving and personal for this little girl and a lot of little girls out there.”
But someone did read it.
