| Senator Hillary Clinton’s letter. |
Dear Friends,
I am pleased to send greetings to each of you attending the 160th Anniversary
of the Seneca Falls Convention. I am especially honored to be part of this
special recognition of Women’s Rights. I thank the Seneca Falls Project, The
National Women’s Hall of Fame and Seneca 160 for their support and recognition
of this historic year for women along with our issues, struggles and triumphs.This year has been significant for all of us as women. After traveling and
meeting people from across America, I am more confident than ever about the
future of our place and role in society. As someone who has had the privilege
to benefit from many freedoms that are rooted here at Seneca Falls 160 years
ago, I am encouraged and thankful for the continued effort and commitment
to women’s causes that is evident here today. As women continue to distinguish
themselves in aspects of society across America, we must renew our efforts
to empower all women with the rights and opportunities promised by our founders
and fought for by the heroic women and men who left an indelible mark in Seneca
Falls 160 years ago.I wish all the best for this special occasion and thank you once again for
your continued support. I am proud of how far we have come and what we have
accomplished. As I said last month, although we were not able to shatter that
highest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it has got about 18 million
cracks in it.With all best wishes, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
July 19th and 20th, 1848 to 2008, 160 years.
We’ve come a long way, ladies… and gentlemen. But as we saw in the primary
season, there’s a very long way still to go.
