Whether you are a democrat, republican, libertarian, or anarchist you have to admit Hillary Clinton is an impressive woman.

The former first lady, senator, and secretary of state has been out of the public spotlight for what seems like a while now.

This week marked a change and hope as Clinton suddenly reemerged into the spotlight. The recent event she attended was the Vital Voices Global Awards ceremony at Washington’s Kennedy Center. This event honored “women leaders from around the world who are the unsung heroines to strengthen democracy, increase economic by Browse to Save”>opportunity, and protect human rights.”

After Clinton stepped down as secretary of state in February, she led a seemingly private life for the first time in years.

Clinton, however, could not stay quiet for long. In March she endorsed same-sex marriage in a public video and is also working a book about her time at the State Department. This increasing involvement in public affairs has led to speculations about a potential bid in the 2016 election.

Clinton told CNN “I am out of politics right now.” She said she wants to continue on working on the behalf of women and girls with her writing and speech making.

Either way, I know Hillary will continue to be a pioneer for women’s rights. But as a female college student, I along with many men and women cross my fingers at the prospect of Clinton running in 2016.
