Is Hillary Clinton the right woman for US presidency?

The world may be long overdue a Madam President of the United States of America — but is Hillary Clinton the right woman for the position? Suzanne Harrington looks at a candidate who divides international and feminist opinion.

At the recent annual White House Correspondents’ dinner, one of Obama’s jokes was ostensibly about the state of the economy: “I had a friend, just a few weeks ago she was making millions of dollars a year, and now she’s living out of a van in Iowa.”

He was of course referring to the grassroots campaigning strategy of his friend Hillary Clinton, formerly his frenemy, lately the Secretary of State, and if things go her way in 2016, the first President of the United States to achieve office without the aid of a penis.
