NEW YORKHillary Clinton delivered a rousing speech on womens rights on Friday, insisting that empowering women is a core imperative for society if the United States is to enjoy economic success and remain a global leader.
Speaking at the Women in the World Summit organized by Tina Brown, editor in chief of Newsweek The Daily Beast, Clinton acknowledged women have come so far in areas including politics and in the workplace. But she called gender equality the "unfinished business of the 21st century"not just in developing countries, but also in the U.S., where women continue to be marginalized when it comes to access to education and their ability to receive a salary equal to their male peers.

the American dream remains elusive, Clinton declared. No country can achieve its full economic potential when women are left out or left behind."
It was Clintons second major speech this weekand the second time she spoke of the need to empower women around the world, an issue that has long driven her career in public life.
