Hillary Clinton: Women in Public Need to Grow Thick Skin
LatestFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton treated the Internet to a Q&A while visiting some of the biggest companies in Silicon Valley.
As part of her book tour for Hard Choices, Clinton stopped by Silicon Valley on Monday, touring Google, Facebook and Twitter headquarters. She sat down at Twitter to answer questions from the #AskHillary hashtag in a forum moderated by Katie Stanton, Twitter’s vice-president of global media and former Clinton staffer in the State Department.

Clinton’s Q&A, which Twitter live streamed on YouTube from its San Francisco headquarters, kicked off with several questions about women’s rights. Twitter hosted members of Girls Who Code, a nonprofit aiming to close the gender gap in STEM jobs, in the front of the audience, who cheered and screamed that they loved Clinton as she entered the room.
“Let’s give Girls Who Code a big round of applause. That’s great,” Clinton said.
