My biggest hope for women in 2016 is that we look carefully at the standards we are holding them to – are they truly equal? Or do we expect women to be twice as good to get the same treatment as men?
In the American presidential race, Hillary Clinton is a great example of how much better a woman has to be in order to be considered anything near equal. Here's a woman with decades of experience in public life, including time as Secretary of State, and her challengers – in the Republican party – include a reality TV host, several unexceptional junior senators and various state governors. It's crazy.
