The Women Who Met Hillary, and Spotted a Future Political Star
By SUSAN DOMINUS
DEC. 24, 2016

It is too soon to know whether the unexpected outcome of Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy will inspire more women to run or dampen their aspirations. But either way, it is clear that she has, through her campaigns and career, helped create a political environment in which a woman could come so close to winning the presidency.

What is less known is that Mrs. Clinton started changing that political culture for women as far back as the early 1970s — not through a candidacy of her own, but through a series of small, but crucial, networking moves. 

The number of women who labored in basement meetings, in consciousness-raising groups, in boardrooms, in unions, in news organizations and in their own kitchens to expand possibilities for women are far too many to count. Far fewer, however, worked specifically to put women into elected office. Prominent among those who did were a few key friends of Mrs. Clinton whom she helped find paths to the cause, including a Texan political player named Betsey Wright, who Mrs. Clinton introduced to a classmate of hers from Wellesley College, Jan Piercy. ...

In meeting Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Wright said, she no longer just imagined a woman could be president, but believed she had met the very woman who would first reach that milestone. Many friends tried to talk Hillary out of marrying Bill for the sake of her political future; Ms. Wright went so far as to try to talk Bill out of marrying Hillary, for the sake of the feminist cause.  ...

Looks like those elitist divas would move to somewhere like North Korea,where their political leanings rule,doesn't it?

[mountaineer]

Whatever these morons "spotted" in Hillary is beyond me. Thus far, she hasn't exactly lived up to her vast potential, has she? 

[musiclady]

Oops.

Not much 'future' left for the aging political 'star.'

Epic fail, NYT.

Basically, this whole article (which I suspect the Times had been sitting on for months expecting Hillary to win) boils down to the old adage about success: it's not what you know, it's who you know.

If the Beast hadn't married Billy Boy we wouldn't even know her name.  There is nothing appealing about her at all.

I have been saying for years that her only real accomplishment was marrying the "right" hillbilly,and she only managed that because he needed a bagman/bagwoman that could take the payoffs and not be able to testify against him.

If she hadn't married Bubba she and some other lesbian whackjob would be running a law office out of some strip mall outside Chicago a with name something like "Two Bitches wad bees lawyurs".

Wow... can the article reek of more craven adoration?

@ScottinVA

Absolutely! This is just one of the first weak attempts. Prepare yourself for an avalanche of them,with each getting more bizarre than the ones preceding it as the loons compete to see who can be the one to officially crown her with sainthood.

None of this has anything to do with her intelligence,honest,or work ethic,of which she has none at all. It all has to do with her being a female and a figurehead.

It's going to really get sick when this evil old bitch finally dies. I fully expect demands to have the government to declare a full week of mourning,and every day there will be multiple tribute programs to her on CBS,ABC,NBC,CNN,etc,etc,etc.

You speak the truth, @beandog

She's an icky, ugly, angry extremist nothing who hooked her wagon to an up and coming star purely as a political alliance.

In my view, she is the anti-feminist.  She only is who she is because of the man she 'married.'
