Female Clinton Supporters Feel Helpless

This article shares stories of women all across the country who feel helpless in their own country, and unsure of where to go from now. One story talked of a mother who wasn't sure what to tell her child how Trump won, because she told him he wasn't a kind man. Another was about a woman who went to law school and is around the same age of Clinton. She said she was shocked that the nation hadn't moved forward like she thought it had, and wept. Even a woman from the south said she was saddened because she has two daughters. Overall this article shows the disappointment and sadness women feel not only because the first serious woman presidential candidate lost, but also because a man so sexist is now in charge.
