Per Real Clear Politics:

HILLARY CLINTON: We lost her too soon. We could use her voice now.

But come next January, when our first woman president takes the oath of office, I’ll be thinking of Sheila — wondering what up in heaven she’s wearing, what magnificent long scarf she has wrapped around herself, what hairdo she has managed to achieve for this special occasion.

I’ll be thinking of her and Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan, and all the generations of women who helped to make that day possible because they never stopped believing. You know, Sojourner Truth said, “If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back and get it right side up again.”
