Clinton, Hutchison drop political guards at Women's Museum in Dallas


"Most of the day was centered on encouraging young women to aim high. Several all-girls schools were in the audience.

"You have to decide whether you're going to give up or soldier on," Clinton said about overcoming adversity.

Hutchison said that as a young woman, she had to get past self-doubt. She said preparation and experience is important in reaching goals.

"Girls, especially, have been afflicted with this," she said. "With experience, I have learned that I absolutely can do anything."

Clinton said her job – and Hutchison's rise as well – often made them loners.

"It is somewhat lonely and isolating to have to think about what we're facing, but it's also a privilege to do it with our states and countries," she said.

2. I can relate to what they said,

about not giving up, the self-doubt, the isolation.

I think any woman in a leadership position can relate to that. Most professional women can relate, too.

Those are things we have to tell our daughters.
