It's possible I'm drunk (okay, it's certain I'm at least a bit tipsy), and it's true that I was already a little bummed out today. But neither of those fully explain why a few minutes ago I was bawling in front of the TV during the introductory video to Hillary Clinton's DNC speech. On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment was put in effect, giving women the right to vote. 88 years later, we have 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling. But the ceiling is still there. Hopefully it won't take another 88 years to finally smash it.
