Anita Hill's treatment by all male Senators inspired women to run for office the following year

I think HRC's loss and the treatment of her (sexist hashtags, Comey, fake scandals, fake news) will inspire strong ambitious women to run in 2018 and 2020.

I hope we see a lot of strong women leaders come out to run in 2018 and for president.
