Hillary's legacy

Whatever happens, Hillary Clinton has irreversibly altered the American political landscape and women's place in it. While there are still sexist individuals who will not vote for a female presidential candidate, the strength of her campaign has proven that the nation is ready for a woman in the Oval office. And the nation is better for it.

From MSNBC:
"What Hillary has done — win, lose or draw — has permanently changed the picture," says Marie Wilson, president of the White House Project, which trains women to run for office. "Next time, we're not going to have to prove that the public will vote for a woman. We won't have to prove competency. She has succeeded at that level."
