Hillary Clinton, in Bryn Mawr, urges women to be leaders

BRYN MAWR, Pa. - July 9, 2013 (WPVI) -- Women who want to make a difference in the world must expand female leadership at all levels of society and make decisions based on evidence, not ideology, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday.


She offered the words of advice and encouragement to members of the Women in Public Service Project, who are attending an international symposium at Bryn Mawr College outside Philadelphia.

"If women participate in their economies, the economies grow," Clinton said. "In politics, if women are not at the table ... the discussion can't be fully reflective of the needs of all the people."

Clinton launched the public service initiative in 2011 to help guide and inspire women in countries undergoing political transitions or emerging from conflicts. One of its goals is for women to hold 50 percent of public sector jobs worldwide by the year 2050.
