Hillary Clinton talks equal rights at Manhattan ‘Women in the World’ summit, gushes over granddaughter

Hillary Clinton mixed the stern and the sentimental at a Manhattan women’s forum Thursday, showcasing her revamped campaign-trail tone as she reached out to critically important demographics — and jabbed at her rivals and detractors.

“It is outrageous that America is the only country in the developed world that doesn’t guarantee paid leave to mothers of newborns,” the former Secretary of State said at the sixth annual “Women in the World” summit — before softening moments later to gush over her “most amazing, fabulous, unbelievable granddaughter.”

Democrat Clinton threaded a personal tone through her address at Lincoln Center, using her mother's hard upbringing and her own experiences as a mom and grandmother as the spine of an address that took on the hot-button issues of unequal pay, health care, and “the continuing scourge of sexual assault.”

Hillary Clinton: Women's Rights Are Men's Responsibility, Too



WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says that men are also responsible for advancing rights and opportunities for women around the world.

The former secretary of state says "it's not a women's issue" but, in her words, "a responsibility that we all share."

On Tuesday, Clinton presided over Georgetown University's annual Hillary Rodham Clinton Awards for Advancing Women in Peace and Security. She says it's not a mistake but a message that all three winners are men.

Clinton is contemplating a run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016.

The former first lady says that everyone suffers when women are marginalized and that everyone benefits when women and girls have a chance to participate fully alongside men and boys in all facets of life, including politics.
