(I'm going to steal Jon's thunder here and welcome Sara Robinson of (one of my personal favourite blogs) Orcinus as the next guest-blogger here at Open Left. If you ever thought racism was just a problem of the past, or that it went away on its own, Orcinus will disabuse you of that. Jon, feel free to add anything I may have missed you wanted to say by way of introduction. - promoted by Daniel De Groot)
What did Hillary's campaign -- and, ultimately, her failure -- mean for progressives? My offering is a meditation in four parts.
I Hillary was quite possibly the last great feminist heroine we'll see from a passing generation -- that early 1945-1955 cohort of Boomer women -- that produced a historically singular crop of them. And that, in the end, was both her glory and her curse.
The guest-blogging discussion reignites! Take a look at the second round of nominations for a guest blog on the topic "feminist and womanist perspectives on Hillary Clinton's withdrawal from the race -- and why this matters to progressives."
And if you've got ideas on potential topics for future guest-blogging endeavors , please share them here.
