Neither Margaret Thatcher nor Indira Gandhi do squat for women's issues while in office. Nor did Benazir Bhutto or Bandernaika. Not only did they not address the inequities of gender, but they capitalized on their dynastic entitlements and hoarded millions in Swiss Bank accounts. I am not inlcuding Thatcher in dynasty and Swiss Bank equations. Hillary also is capitalizing on dynastic rule and has made oodles of money post White House.
Women are voting for her, because she represents how far women have come. I don't think we have came far enough if a vote for Hillary validates our feminism. Marian Edelman and her former colleagues have distanced themselves from her. They know what caliber of person she is. Look up Obama's endorsements and you will find many prominent feminist names there. Of course, there is a poster here who already tried to ridicule and demonize these "fringe" people. But you get my drift.
