Hillary's Done

"I am a woman, and like millions of women I know there are still barriers and biases out there," she said.

Despite coming up short in her bid for the Democratic nod, Clinton said that she has made the path for the next woman presidential candidate all that much easier. She noted that when her campaign began there were questions about whether a woman could really serve as commander in chief; "Well, I think we answered that one," she said.

She added that while her campaign had failed to break the final -- and highest -- glass ceiling, that it had still managed to put "about 18 millions cracks in it", a reference to the votes she won during the entirety of the presidential primary fight. "The light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be easier next time," Clinton said.

And thus according to Hillary, her losing the election was yet another great triumph in the history of womankind.
