20 Quotes From Women Leaders On Hillary Clinton’s Run for Presidency

We can all agree on one thing about the US Presedential election 2016 and that is, Hillary Clinton has left her mark in history as being the first woman in the USA to have reached the highest glass ceiling ever of any woman’s dream. She may not have shattered it but we can also agree that she was able to crack it and make it well beyond the mark, further than any woman has ever been able to do on her quest for presidency.

I am even more confident as my belief is that one day the glass ceiling will be shattered and little girls and women of all color, race, ethnic background, religiouis or political party affiliation will realize that the sky is never the limit and regardless of the circumstances, you continue to dream – for one day that dream will become a reality.

Needless to say that women everywhere have been empowered and inspired by her bravery, her courage and tenacity – taking every shot and rocks pelted at her with such grace and for standing tall despite the numerous assalts on her character from every direction one can think of. She may have lost out on becoming the first woman President of the USA but life goes on.
