History of Feminism

Electing the first female candidate will not hold the same importance as electing the 1st AfAm candidate. It is not only that they don't notice woman. Women like HRC don't fit the mold that they have assigned to women.




As Michael Tomasky wrote when addressing this same subject, the only reason people don’t see the significance of this moment for many women is because they apparently don’t notice women:


People aren’t going to love her like they loved Barack Obama. Actually, check that, in part: There are in fact millions of Americans who adore Clinton. I saw them in 2000, too; mothers at upstate county fairgrounds, waiting an hour on the rope line to introduce their daughters to Hillary. You don’t become America’s most admired woman in 17 of the last 20 years without lots of people loving you, but somehow this cohort doesn’t register much on the Washington radar screen.
