What Hillary told career women

Hillary Clinton Says Professional Women Face 1950’s-Like Economy in Silicon Valley Address

Gender equality is “not just a nice thing to do,” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday at the first Watermark Silicon Valley Conference for Women in Santa Clara.

Clinton went on to say that equality for women is necessary to ensure a country’s economic and political stability. "Where women are included you are more likely to have democracy,” she said, according to live tweeted accounts of her speech.

Clinton is widely considered to be a frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination despite having yet to declare a bid in the race. Delivering a keynote address at Tuesday’s event, which focused on the professional development and leadership of women, Clinton said she could “literally count on one hand the number of women who have come [to Sillicon Valley] and turned their dreams into billion dollar businesses,” but that "we cannot afford to leave all that talent on the sidelines.”
