1. She's taken a stand on some women's issues such as wage inequality.

Problem is if a woman is receiving the same wage as her male counterpart, but it's minimum or worse, it's not doing either any good.

Or her husband's job is outsourced or her kid's school is falling apart. These are not women's problems; they are symptoms of a far greater problem affecting this country. We're being robbed blind.

So Madame Secretary, what is your stand and what are you going to do about it?
