One could argue Hillary Clinton’s race to the White House began here in a small, red-brick chapel on a sunny June morning 168 years ago. It was 1848 — 99 years before the woman who could be America’s first female president was born in a leafy suburb of Chicago — and as many as 300 women and men were packed into the tiny building in upstate New York. The gathering would come to be known as the Seneca Falls Convention, the birthplace of the women’s rights movement. In 1982, while Clinton was the first and only partner in a female law firm in Arkansas, the Equal Rights Amendment died. “I can’t really see her as the kind of feminist that I would like to embrace,” said Liza Featherstone, editor of the book, False Choices: The Faux Feminism of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
