What do women think of Hillary Clinton?Women are embraced as leaders of Germany, Chile, the Philippines, Finland, Ireland and Liberia. Yet, as Super Tuesday nears, the first real possibility of electing a woman president has stirred serious discussion about whether Americans are ready to do so - and whether that president should be Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The prospect forces people to dig deep and, perhaps, confront some private prejudices. Polls show that Clinton draws more support among women than men, but many woman appear torn -- proud of her historic run, yet wary. There are judgments on her marriage, her record, her ability to play hardball with men and the sense that despite her exposed private life, many women feel like they don't really know her. To explore the complexities of how women see Hillary Clinton, The Times-Dispatch recently gathered a diverse group of women to discuss their views. Read and hear their thoughts below, then add your own reactions. |
