But this says it all!

When she was in high school, a woman only had two options for a career. “You could teach or be a nurse. I decided to teach,” she said. She got her degree and went on to teach for 24 years.

Now, the world holds so much more opportunity for women. But there’s still much work to do.

On election night, if Hillary Clinton is elected the first woman president of the United States, you will see women cry, hug, and dance in the streets. You might even dance yourself.

And one day, if you live long enough, you’ll tell your great-grandchildren all about it. They’ll roll their eyes and say, “You mean we never had a woman president before?” They’ll wonder what the big deal was.

Because by then, we hope, it will seem like ancient history.
