On election night Tuesday, Hillary Clinton hopes to take the stage at New York Citys Javits Center, beneath a glass ceiling, as Americas first female president-elect.
If the Democratic nominee is elected president, it will be a captivating moment, overflowing with emotion befitting an achievement thats 227 years in the making.
But in the meantime, history is being made more quietly, in living rooms and polling places across the country.
With early voting under way, millions of Americans have for the first time marked their general election ballots with the hope of sending a woman to the White House.
For some, the experience has been unexpectedly moving.
Sarah Dean recalled driving her mom, Vickie Wilkinson, to her local polling place in Bozeman, Montana last week. I watched her hand in her ballot and took a picture of her, she said. And when we got back in the car, she was just so emotional.
The importance of her vote snapped into focus.
I had forgotten what was happening. ............................
Wilkinson was reminiscing about her own mother that day..................
