UPSOT Hillary Clinton, New York, Wednesday"I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling. But someday someone will and hopefully sooner than we might think right now."As she conceded defeat, Hillary Clinton reminded people that this presidential election was also a battle for women.She fought against gender discrimination within the political elite - and lost to a man whom she lambasted as a misogynist.Women who supported her see sexism as a factor in the vote outcome.VOX "I actively campaigned to help get Obama elected and I've realised that women are hated even more than black men in this country. That's how I feel."VOX"All the things that he did that were so incredibly degrading to women and he still won, it was just amazing to me."VOX"Every person who voted against Hillary Clinton didn't do it because she's a woman but I think it was certainly a factor"(DLS)Polls show, however, that while a majority of men voted for Trump... a large proportion of women also contributed to his win.Meanwhile, Clinton's own gender gap - the difference between the number of men and the number of women who voted for her... was wider than ever, at 13 percentage point.SOT Prof. Jennifer Lawless, American University: "I don't think the results indicate that we're not ready for a female president especially if the numbers hold up and Hillary Clinton actually does win the popular vote. But the numbers do reflect the fact that there is a large contingent of the population that's not offended by explicit sexism or misogyny"Clinton may not continue pursuing her presidential ambition...but many of her voters hope another woman candidate will run for office in four years time.
