Washington Post, The Hillary Effect

Nice Read: 

"There are 25 female ambassadors posted in Washington -- the highest number ever, according to the State Department.

"This is breaking precedent," said Selma "Lucky" Roosevelt, a former U.S. chief of protocol.

Women remain a distinct minority -- there are 182 accredited ambassadors in Washington -- but their rise from a cadre of five in the late 1990s to five times that is opening up what had been an elite's men club for more than a century.

A key reason is the increase in the number of top U.S. diplomats who are women, what some call the "Hillary effect."

"Hillary Clinton is so visible" as secretary of state, said Amelia Matos Sumbana, who just arrived as ambassador from Mozambique. "She makes it easier for presidents to pick a woman for Washington."

This is a good read.  I can only picture what the effect will be when she becomes POTUS

Fantastic Article. Hillary is a strong leader and a fantastic role model. People who work for her adore her. At the end of Hillary's address about women's role in the world one of her reportees came to the podium and talked for a few minutes.. and specifically said what a great pleasure it is to work for Hillary.. and her voice was jubilant and conveyed how genuine the emotions expressed were. Well, congratulations to all of them.. they have such a great leader to look up to and work for.
