I know those politically opposed to her will push back...but

Whether or not she is elected President, the history of the women's movement in this country can no longer be discussed completely without talking about Hillary Clinton...

She has legitimately earned a place in the discussion, on a par with the women listed above and many more - Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm etc...

While every advance has been made based on the progress of previous generations, each of these women has contributed something that has substantially advanced the cause of gender equality in this country...and Hillary is on that list...no history of the topic can exclude her and claim to be complete

Stepping back from the heat of the campaign...it really is something else to be witnessing it...

To some extent the same can be said about Obama...
