Shattering the ‘highest, hardest’ glass ceiling

“Women have been awakened in parts of the world where they hadn’t been and they will fight for their rights,” says Rice.

For Clinton, any progress made in relation to the rights of women has been slow.

“We still have so much more to do, and let’s not be in anyway diverted, no matter what’s happening in the world, we must continue on this agenda,” she says.

Only time will tell if this agenda will also help launch Clinton into the White House, shattering the highest glass ceiling of them all.

Hillary Clinton: The Power of Women will be broadcast on Wednesday 25 March at 21:00 GMT on BBC Two. Or catch up later on BBC iPlayer.
