When asked about this challenge during a recent Women’s Foundation meeting in Denver, Obama replied:
The shards [from a proverbial broken-glass ceiling] that cut me the deepest
were the ones that intended to
cut. These included body-shaming and
racist slurs.
Obama is beyond pretending that such attacks don’t hurt.
She stands in solidarity with all women, whom she describes as “bleeding every single day” from “small tiny cuts,” yet “still getting up.”
Nevertheless, Obama hasn't lost her faith in Americans. She hails
them as “universally good and kind and honest and decent.”
