Barack Obama 's Candidacy For The Second Time

Hilary Clinton is a strong and effective choice to serve as a messenger and manager of women’s rights globally. She has proven herself as a fierce advocate for women’s rights due to her strong and consistent record of effectively championing women’s rights, economically and politically. She has remained consistent throughout her career as an advocate for gender equality, human rights, and women’s rights policies. Throughout her time in the Senate, she advocated women’s rights and used her status around the world to shine a light on issues of importance for women and girls. Hillary Clinton’s unwavering stance has supported that women lives are just as valuable as any other lives, women’s rights are human’s rights, and anything less is unacceptable. Hilary Clinton understands that the world needs to recognize the unfair injustice being committed against women’s rights. She chooses to speak out, instead of remaining silent. The world must understand and recognize that in the fight for justice, by remaining silent and turning a blind eye, which is considered the same as supporting injustices. Hillary Clinton suggested in her speech the world should no longer ignore the wrongs being globally committed against women, around the globe in today’s society, the issues of inhumanity and injustices are rising as the value on women lives declines.

For years in the United States of America, women have been battling for their rights. In the early years when the United States were colonies, under the English common law, “By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in the law. The very being and legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least is incorporated into that of her husband under whose wing and protection she performs everything,” (History of Women’s Rights in America). Now in present day America, Hilary Clinton gets the presidential nomination for the Democratic party and becoming the first women to lead a majority party, however she lost the election. Where the United States is today, America would not be like it is now without the leader of the free world, the president. Comparing both President Wilson and Ford, how they help women’s rights, what they accomplished, and how Congress had an impact.

There have been many significant strides since 1970 when women occupied almost no major elective positions in U.S. political institutions. Today’s society has reflected remarkable changes in women’s equality and acceptance. In 2008, Hillary Clinton received 18 million votes when she fought for presidency of the Democratic Party . In 2011, Sarah Palin was listed at the top of her candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. However, women are consistently being underrepresented in the political world reaching beyond just the federal level. Clyde and Thomas attest the underrepresentation to two basic reasons: lack of political ambition as well as historic exclusion of women from professions that tend to lead toward the political arena . Three central barriers contribute to the difficult road ahead for the

When one reflects upon the various characteristics of all the previous presidents in the history of America, one trait has remained unchanged: they have all been male. In well over 200 years and 57 presidential elections, the United States has never elected a woman as president. Still more telling, a woman has never even been nominated to run for president at the top of the ticket of a major national political party in the U.S., and only two, Geraldine Ferraro and Sarah Palin, have been selected for the number two slot. Nevertheless, women have been running for the nation’s highest office even before they earned the right to vote in 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment. In 1872 Victoria Claflin Woodhull became the first woman to

The woman card was written by Jill Lepore 27 june 2016, and I have found several of her articles relevant to my research. Lepore seems to be very educated in politics, and I find her articles to be very well researched and informative. Her articles seem to be relevant to everyone in general, she wants the readers to be informed and make educated opinions. Lepore likes to talk about the past and contrast it to the present. This is a very great way to inform readers of the history and sacrifices women had to go through to get where we are today. The women 's party has only been around 100 years, this year, and without it, our country would not be where it is today. I thought that Hillary was going to be the first women president, instead we have the first president who has never held a political office. Clinton spoke to women when she debated and when she was at rallies. She reached out to women specifically trying to earn their vote, and with all the protests lately she seemed to have reached a lot of women, as well as men. Most of the time women are more compassionate, understanding, and motherly, whereas men are not. It has taken a long time for women to accomplish the things we have, and Lepore talks about this in several of her articles. This article illuminates my bibliography topic because it lets people know the history behind women and voting as well as each of the candidates and their affiliations. This article even talks about the Republican Party that was

What makes a woman run is usually the issues that come up in their lives that make them want to make a difference. For instance, education and children’s safety. The worried mother syndrome is an effective catalyst for social change (page 37). This is a way to take a step towards the public because women tend to act on behalf of their families, rather than themselves. These issues like, safety, education and the environment are seen as women’s issues because women are known to be kind hearted. Madeleine talks about Congresswoman Linda Sanchez and what she sees in a woman that would succeed in running. She sees a woman that runs to be a passionate advocate and somebody who has the energy and the desire to roll up their shirtsleeves and fight

The biography given is ideally the description most of us would deny that person to be someone elected to the United States Senate; nor a viable candidate to lead the powerful nation on earth. Believing either of these to be true puts us as the country that is down the list of electing women. A history fact clarifies that black men were giving the right to vote before women of any race. Along with gaining the position of power before any women. Steinem strongly points out that if her female version of Barack Obama were named Achola Obama there would have never been a chance for her. She would be in the same boat as Hillary Clinton. Neither of them could have Obama’s nor Bill Clintons public style without being too emotional or in other words to

“To succeed we must believe that we can.” - By Nikos Kazantzakis. This quote has truly carried meaningful inspiration for men and women in the world today. The success of one person can lead them to what they want to pursue in life, and it may happen to be becoming the president of the United States. From the first presidency of George Washington, in 1789, and through all the presidencies until today, has only had one thing in common; they all are males. Nonetheless, a woman will eventually become president. Soon, a woman will become president because the twenty first century allows more opportunities for jobs for women, more women are encouraged to be bold as the modern society begins to grow, and many women are just as capable as men in

Many women have faced difficult paths to get elected into office whether they are Hispanic, African American, or White. Even if they had all the qualities or they were overqualified they failed based on their gender, race, or lack of confidence in themselves.

Hillary Clinton’s outspoken feminist attitude has gained her a significant amount of public support. She’s publicly backed Planned Parenthood and has been endorsed by NARAL, a pro-choice Super PAC. Hillary has strongly advocated for abortion rights and has expressed an unwavering passion for women’s rights as a whole. And she’s not alone in her views.

Admittedly, Hilary Clinton has spoken around the world about the challenges that women have faced. However, it is the continued struggle of American women that inspires and fuels her passion and fight for equality in this male-dominated culture. Also, while married to bill Clinton who was actively involved in women’s right, Hilary advocated for a standard of equality that embrace all colors and cultures. . Clinton establishes ethos when she states, “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I've had the opportunity to learn

At the conclusion of President Barack Obama’s historical consecutive terms in office there is going to be a large number of candidates that are vying for the nominations of the respective parties. Due to the constitutional term limits imposed on the President, Obama is barred to seek re-election in 2016. While there are about 10 candidates running for the republicans, there are only two still in the running for the Democratic Party. The way candidates are recognized by their respective parties to become a candidate for the United States Presidency is first by receiving an invitation to compete in the primaries, then being included in the nationwide polls, as well as being on the ballot for at least 75% of all states. At the conclusion of the February 1st caucus there were 3 Democrats and 10 republicans who were still in the Presidential race, since then one Democratic candidate had dropped out.

After a gruelling long primary for both major parties, the Republican and Democratic Parties, Hillary Clinton emerged as the favorite-to-win the 2016 election, and several magazines stating before Election Day that Clinton had already won. On November 8th, Newsweek released “125,000 copies” of magazines with the title of “Madam President: Hillary Clinton’s historic journey to the White House” (Greenslade). During the Democratic Primaries, Hillary Clinton’s campaign had already decided on Tim Kaine to be her Vice-President, and decided whom to pick for her Cabinet. Additionally, Hillary Clinton was endorsed by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and a dozen of other newspapers, and endorsed by hundreds of politicians, celebrities, businessmen, and activists, thus, a great sum of people had confidence that she would win the 2016 Presidential Election (Berke, Harrington). The day before Election Day, pollsters from various organizations, such as New York Times, FiveThirtyEight, and the Huffington Post, predicted Hillary Clinton would win the Presidency of the United States by overwhelming margins, such as 85%, 71%, and 98% respectively. (Katz).

The political arena is a tough place to be part of, especially during a campaign. Your opponent and their supporters are constantly watching your every move with the hopes that you will make a mistake, or that somebody will find some detrimental dirt on you. Now imagine also being a woman, not only will you have to face the hardships that male candidates cope with but you will also have to handle the adversity based on your gender and the stereotypes that go along with being a female. Women have to be prepared to confront the fact that they may not even be wanted in that setting. For example Margaret Carlson stated,

In November of 2016, Americans will have a unique opportunity to vote for a woman for President for the first time. Many will not, for reasons related to her policies, her party, or even her past. But others will not solely because of her gender. In my opinion, gender, like race or sexuality, is irrelevant as a qualification for running for office. Others will disagree, and disagree rather forcefully. There will come a time when someone will tell me not to vote for this woman. When that time comes, will I be able to make my voice heard? Will I have the courage of my convictions?
