"Where do any of our female firsts, our path breakers, where do they find that strength? These women share some common capacity of mindfulness of heart and a burning passion for their cause," she continued. "They have forged new paths so that others can follow them...nearly 100 years after we got the vote, you people have made history. And you're gonna make history again in November because Hillary Clinton will be our first woman president … and she will be the first in a long line of women and men who serve with grit and grace. She'll be the first but she won't be the last."
