Chelsea Clinton’s Recent Remarks on Gender Equity Echoed Her Mom Hillary’s Famous Phrase

Chelsea Clinton has always taken a lot of inspiration from her mother, Hillary Clinton.

Chelsea’s remarks completely spoke to the need for progress when it comes to equality, and she completely echoed one of her mom’s most enduring phrases.
