(15,325 posts)Yet her loss was a well planned, multi-pronged assault on the 1st woman, & most qualified of them all.
Media drove her words to silence over the grandstanding men
She walks forever with the greatest of women in history for the deeds of her lifetime. 🍃
Gracious, nobel & forever honored.
Thank you Hillary~

(15,532 posts)for that I'm almost glad she didn't have to deal with the constant strife she would have had from the hateful ones if she had been President.
I'm not so glad for the majority of the country who voted for her, including me.

(15,325 posts)The Oxford Union Society, commonly referred to simply as the Oxford Union, is a debating society in the city of Oxford, England, whose membership is drawn primarily from the University of Oxford.
Founded in 1823, it is one of Britain's oldest university unions and one of the world's most prestigious private students' societies.[1] The Oxford Union exists independently from the university and is separate from the Oxford University Student Union.
The Oxford Union has a tradition of hosting some of the world's most prominent individuals across politics, academia and popular culture, including US Presidents Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, British Prime Ministers Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, David Cameron and Theresa May, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, activists Malcolm X, the Dalai Lama, Tommy Robinson, Jordan Peterson, Mother Teresa and Malala Yousafzai, actors Morgan Freeman, Mark Hamill and Alec Baldwin, musicians Sir Elton John and Michael Jackson, and sportspeople Diego Maradona and Manny Pacquiao.

Women were excluded from membership in the Oxford Union until 1963. Admitting women to the Oxford Union required a 2/3 vote of its past and current members. The first vote to admit women failed, with 903 men voting to admit women and 459 voting against.[3] The second vote, on 9 February 1963, succeeded, 1,039 to 427.[4] Oxford student Judith Okely, who had led the campaign to admit women, then became the first woman member.[5] Geraldine Jones of St Hugh's College was in 1967 the first woman to be elected President of the Oxford Union.

Hillary Clinton 'Delighted' to Receive Honorary Degree from Oxford
Hillary Clinton this week celebrated a new, honorary degree from the University of Oxford, a school her husband, Bill Clinton, attended years ago.
Considered the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford welcomed Secretary Clinton, 73, to its campus in England on Wednesday as one of six recipients of honorary degrees.
"I am delighted to have been an honorand today among a group of very distinguished women," she said in a YouTube video posted by the university. "I'm very humbled to be in their company and very delighted to have this honorary degree. Being in the midst of a community that values evidence and facts and experience, it was a thrilling day."
President Clinton, 75, attended Oxford's University College as a Rhodes Scholar starting in 1968 after he graduated from Georgetown University. He later attended Yale Law School where he met a young Hillary Rodham.
The former first lady and Democratic presidential candidate posted photos on Twitter of Wednesday's ceremony at Oxford's Sheldonian Theatre.
"Thrilled to receive an honorary Doctorate of Civil Law on a beautiful day at @UniofOxford,"
She has other academic titles in the offing:
On Friday, she will be inaugurated as the chancellor of Queen's University, according to the BBC.
********
Today she returned to applause & a well earned standing ovation. Her life's work speaks for itself, as this Honor is granted & she is so generously recognized.
Thank You Hillary Rodham Clinton, & Congrats

This is the sort of honor or encomium that the former guy would give his left nut to get, but it'll never happen.

4 October 2021
In recognition of Professor Brenda E Stevenson beginning her tenure as the first Hillary Rodham Clinton Chair of Womens History at Oxford University, the University is running a programme of public events this October.
First announced in October 2020, the Hillary Rodham Clinton Chair of Womens History has been created to enhance Oxfords existing work in womens history by driving pioneering research around intersectional equality, and transforming how the subject is taught and studied at Oxford.
https://staff.admin.ox.ac.uk/article/introducing-the-hillary-rodham-clinton-chair-of-womens-history#/
Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, 67th United States Secretary of State, said:
History reveals the past, informs the present, and shapes the future. Yet the story has largely focused on men, including women only as an afterthought or in a supporting role.
That must change.
Oxford has embraced this challenge.
The Hillary Rodham Clinton Chair in Womens History will lead the way, emboldening a global network of scholars and students. I am both grateful and honoured.
Never failing in her advocacy for Children, Women & Human Rights, Hillary's entire life has been constant in policy & advocacy both local & global.
From this Bold & risky presentation at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995:
To This.
The Hillary Rodham Clinton Chair in Womens History/Oxford..we celebrate your dedication & your distinguished Honor.
