HRC's words eulogizing Madeleine Albright were heartening to me.
I loved hearing Hillary Rodham Clinton extolling the staunch feminism of Madeleine Albright today, including the mention of that "special place in hell" for which she got so much flak. I was glad to know Albright had encouraged HRC to proclaim "women's rights are human rights, once and for all" in Beijing, 1995.
I did not know that they called each other "59" and "69" for their graduating classes at Wellesley. I was a graduate of the so-called "Eighth Sister School" in '79. (It took me two years longer to graduate because I went off to dance in New York for two years after sophomore year, but I'm still considered "79."
Women like these - and their daughters - fill me with pride, inspiration, and reassurance.
