The last time Hillary Clinton ran for president, “she seemed torn over whether to emphasize her chance to make history, or to play down her gender and reassure voters that she was tough enough for the job,” the New York Times reports.
“This time there is no question: Mrs. Clinton’s potential to break what she has called ‘the highest and hardest glass ceiling’ is already central to her fledgling 2016 presidential campaign.”
“But rather than the assertive feminism associated with her years as first lady, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign message will be subtler. It will involve frequent references to being a mother and grandmother and to how her family has inspired her to embrace policies that she believes would help middle-class families.”
