It is actually past time and records have been found of the very first civilization on earth, that of the Sumerians almost six thousand years ago. Those records tell the story of life and the major role played by women in all walks of Sumerian life. The land of Sumer which is present day Iraq is not the United States but the same principles are there concerning the ability of women.
And now in the year 2016 America has its very first woman nominee for President of the United States and Hillary Clinton happens to be that nominee of the democratic party. Her opponents are two men and another woman. The Presidential campaign has been in progress for over a year and Clinton is the only candidate in the race who has been steady, consistent, knowledgeable on the issues, issues oriented, sure of herself and a voice for all the people.
Clinton has won both Presidential debates so far with a clear majority and has shown a temperament that is in line with good leadership. This writer was eligible to vote for the first time in a Presidential election in 1956 and believes Clinton is one of the most prepared and capable candidate through all those years. A Clinton Presidency would open the door for more women in the business world, politics and life in general which in turn would enrich the quality of life on all sectors.
Clinton's lifetime of public service will bring people together for a better tomorrow for the country and its people and the voters in this generation can make history on November 8, not because she is a woman but because she has demonstrated that she is the best qualified candidate to occupy the White House.
