The only way this speech could be more inspiring for women is if Hillary Clinton ends it by busting a ghost.

Hillary is giving the speech of her life and there are dudes whining that she isn't smiling enough. pic.twitter.com/ZlooNkAR2Q

I have a dream: that all the news networks turn the reactions to Clinton's speech over to women reporters and analysts tonight.

Hillary Clinton in white, like a suffragist, like a suffragette — #IAmAFeminist because of you.

Kind of amazing that we're watching a female presidential nominee argue that her male opponent is too hysterical & emotionally volatile.

The phrase "women's rights are human rights" isn't radical now like it was in 1995. Wanna know why?
— Emmy Bengtson (@EmmyA2) July 29, 2016
Because Hillary said it in 1995.
just imagined a bunch of little boys across our nation watching a woman give this speech tonight and i exhaled #DemsInPhilly

A 14 year old abandoned housemaid grew up to raise the first female nominee for president. Read that again.
