Really nice Guardian article ... which I have posted here in the HRC Group to avoid those who will piss all over it.

And in 2016, the relentless focus on Clinton’s appeals to women, from Lena Dunham and Demi Lovato headliners in Iowa to a Planned Parenthood’s endorsement in New Hampshire, often ignores the fact many women simply like Clinton.

She has fans, and not just women who want a woman president, or who generally support women candidates, or voters who see her as the best shot to keep a Democrat in the White House. She has real, honest-to-goodness, dyed-in-the-wool supporters who don’t just want Clinton to win the White House, but fully expect she will. And they adore her.
...
At a Naral event in Concord, Lynne Snierson, from Salem, New Hampshire, said: “I realize that younger women don’t necessarily connect with this, but for those of us who fought in the vanguard of the feminist movement in the 60s, the thought of a woman president resonates really deeply.”

“I’m 63,” she explained, “I was obviously born in 1952 and I understand that when I was a young woman, the thought of a woman being president was pie in the sky.”

Lots of good stuff at the link.
