Tina Brown’s first issue of Newsweek features Hillary Clinton on its cover. Of the six stories highlighted there, three are about women:

• “150 women who shake the world”
• “Women make lousy men” by Kathleen Parker
• “Hillary’s War: How she’s shattering glass ceilings everywhere”

On “This Week with Christianne Amanpour,” Brown said:

“I think what’s interesting right now is that Hillary Clinton, in fact, has actually at last met her moment, in a sense. Because her long-held conviction has always been that women are the leading indicator. That if you empower women, you’re gonna make huge changes in the democracy movement and, of course, in the GDP of the countries concerned. And she’s been pounding that drum for a long time. So this issue of Newsweek, you see her really in action, what she is doing. We followed her, for instance, on a trip to Yemen just a few weeks before the Arab revolution and saw her conducting a really robust town hall, where people were being encouraged to talk, were being encouraged to ask about women’s rights. And after that meeting, she met with a few of the women who clustered around her and asked her and said, ‘Can you help us educate women here, about the country here?’ “

Words can’t describe how much I love this woman.

Madame President.
