With victory then she will become the first woman ever to rise to the US Presidency.

If elected, the moment will finally have come when the glass ceiling isn’t just shattered but ceases to exist. She will join an exclusive league of powerful women leaders across the globe that have risen to the top to clean the mess created by men. Hillary will bring to the White House and indeed to the world stage a rich experience that spurns over thirty years. Experiences that include life as a civil rights activist; a lawyer, a first lady; a Senator and the most travelled Secretary of state.
