Hillary Clinton's Barnard College Address on Women

Ooooo - that hillary Clinton. I am convinced God placed her in the perfect position to change the status of women around the globe. Yesterday she spoke at Barnard College's commencement ceremony and, among other things related to women, she said:
I want to talk about a particular area where I think you can, you should, and you must make a difference. It’s important to me personally and it’s especially important in my new job, and that is the plight of women and girls around the world. As women with strong voices and strong values, you are in a unique position to support women worldwide who don’t have the resources you do, but whose lives and dreams are just as worthy as yours and mine. I have concluded after traveling many miles and visiting many places in the last decades that talent is universally distributed, but opportunity is not. The futures of these women and girls will affect yours and mine. And therefore, it is not only the right thing to do, but also the smart thing.
