Women who are feminists hesitate to admit that they are one because they are afraid of what others will think about them. Stereotypiclly feminsits are viewed as being bossy, demanding, and extremly opinionated. With those qualities who would want to freely admit that they are in fact a feminist? People tend to hesitate the label feminist because women in America in the past traditionaly were viewed as being the weaker sex, not being involved in politics, and for being very opinionated. Now women are speaking up and are becoming loud political voices. Even though there are few women being heard/speaking out right now, I think more and more women will gain the confidence to become involved in politics and voice their opinions. Then feminists will become more accepted, not as being a loud bossy female but as a female who wants to be treaded equally and have her opinions heard and actually taken into account.

Hillary Clinton is in fact a strong determined and opinionated woman who is involved in politics but I am not sure if she fights for equality of women's rights. I googled it and I got different results and opinions. She is however paving the way for other women to gain the courage to become more involved and speak their minds.
