As part of the rollout of her presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton chose the Huffington Post to publish a new “epilogue” to her tepidly-received 2014 memoir, Hard Choices. A significant part of the chapter is about Clinton’s happiness at becoming a grandmother, now that daughter Chelsea Clinton has had a daughter of her own, Charlotte. But the epilogue’s broader point is Clinton’s intention to make much of her 2016 campaign about fighting inequality.
“I have always believed that every child should have the chance to live up to his or her God-given potential,” Clinton wrote. “I’m more convinced than ever that our future in the 21st century depends on our ability to ensure that a child born in the hills of Appalachia or the Mississippi Delta or the Rio Grande Valley grows up with the same shot at success that Charlotte will.”
