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.”
