gypsyqueen1966: First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Remarks to…
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Remarks to the Fourth Women’s Confer.ence 1995
Michelle Obama’s speech yesterday was for Millennials what this speech by then First Lady Hillary Clinton was for late Boomers and early Gen-Xers.
This is the entire of Hillary’s famous speech “Women’s Rights are Human Rights”- that I doubt anyone under 35 has heard. This speech by Hillary had a enormous worldwide impact that continues to this day. Young women around the world that heard this speech were inspired to fight for women’s equality in their countries.
Yet the male Democratic party advisers who accompanied her to the conference had urged her not to say that famous quote that has given the speech it’s title, telling her it was “too extreme”.
This shows the progressive evolution of the Democratic party, Michelle Obama gave her speech yesterday free from any advisers telling her it was too extreme. And Hillary gave a inspiring acceptance speech as the presidential nominee at the DNC this summer. I’ll post that too. The misogynist corporate owned news media pretty much ignored Hillary’s speech so I doubt if that many of you on here heard it.

Tags: hrc ftw, women's rights are human rights, i hadn't watched the whole speech before, it's kind of fascinating, comparing it to michelle's speech from manchester, hillary isn't an orator, but sometimes that's not what a speech is about, sometimes it's about having the courage, to stand up and say the words.
