Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a video Tuesday highlighting historic female activists and touting the Democratic presidential candidate’s apparent nomination—she’s the first woman to ever reach that milestone in either party.
The video, “History Made,” references the suffragette movement alongside speeches from feminist leaders, quotes from LGBT activists and Clinton’s own words.
“If America is going to lead we need to learn from the women of the world who have blazed new paths,” Clinton says in the video.
The video will reportedly play before Clinton’s speech in Brooklyn Tuesday night as results are expected from primaries in Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, New Jersey and New Mexico.
The Associated Press reported late Monday that Clinton already earned enough delegates to be the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee.

Sure has been. Congratulations, Madam Secretary.
Powerful video. Go Hillary!!!
I hope this doesn’t turn into a “elect the first woman…” thing. I don’t think that’s a winning strategy. Any type of association with feminism is extremely risky. Like I’ve said in the past, she is extremely well qualified. I’d like to see her stress that (and of course pour on the negatives toward Donald). Let’s do this type of celebrating and recognition in December after she kicks ass.
Is this the “Woman Card” or the “Human Card”?
I don’t think it will. I read somewhere, maybe even here on TPM, that her campaign tested that message and found it wasn’t very effective. In fact, Hillary’s modified her stump speech and says she looks forward to becoming the youngest woman elected president to date.
