Meet the women who came to see Clinton make history

New York (CNN)Hillary Clinton made history this week by becoming the country’s first major party female presumptive nominee for president.

Below are some of the women who came to Clinton’s victory rally in Brooklyn Tuesday night. CNN asked them to describe where they were in 2008 when Clinton conceded to then-Sen. Barack Obama and what it means for them now to see her clinch the nomination eight years later.

Where were you eight years ago today when Hillary Clinton conceded to Barack Obama?

What does it mean for you to see the country’s first female major party presumptive presidential nominee?

In the 60s, I demonstrated for women’s rights and I was a part of the feminist movement … Women have to work 10 times harder and be 10 times smarter than the men.

She has the heart and soul that only a woman can have. For the full article click here
