While she's kept a relatively low profile in the months following the 2016 presidential election, but on Tuesday at the Women for Women International event in New York City, the former presidential candidate opened up about how she plans to keep fighting the administration she lost to.
"I'm back to being a private citizen, and part of the resistance," she told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. She later added that she plans to hold the Trump administration accountable in order to ensure that progress that's been made toward gender equality doesn't go backwards.
"I am going to publicly request that this administration not end our efforts making women’s rights and opportunities central to American foreign policy and national security,” she said.

During the interview, Clinton also talked about what she believes was the reason for her loss - and she wasn't afraid to be very pointed about it. When asked by Amanpour whether she though misogyny was part of the equation, she noted that it was only one of many obstacles her campaign encountered.
"Yes, I do think it played a role," she said. "I think other things did as well. Every day that goes by, we find out more about the unprecedented inference, including from a foreign power whose leader is not a member of my fan club. It is real, it is very much a part of the landscape, political and socially and economically," she said of gender inequality.
Here's hoping that the Trump administration actually gives some consideration what Hillary Clinton, citizen activist, has to say about women's rights and gender equality.
