"Tonight, we've reached a milestone in our nation's march toward a more perfect union: the first time that a major party has nominated a woman for president. Standing here as my mother's daughter, and my daughter's mother, I'm so happy this day has come. I’m happy for grandmothers and little girls and everyone in between. I’m happy for boys and men – because when any barrier falls in Americait clears the way for everyone. After all, when there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit. So let's keep going, let’s keep going until every one of the 161 million women and girls across America has the opportunity she deserves to have." -- Secretary Hillary Clinton
