Speaking at a conference for professional businesswomen in San Francisco on Tuesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that she is back._  by [Alana Abramson](https://time.com/author/alana-abramson/)  ## Alana Abramson Mar 29, 2017 7:35 PM UTC  by [Alana Abramson](https://time.com/author/alana-abramson/)  ## Alana Abramson Mar 29, 2017 7:35 PM UTC Announcing that she was “thrilled to be out of the woods,”[ former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton](http://time.com/4716072/hillary-clinton-san-francisco-speech-donald-trump/) gave an expansive talk at a [conference](http://time.com/4713081/hillary-clinton-ahca-health-care-bill-failure/) for the Professional BusinessWomen of California Tuesday night. Reflecting on her own experiences in both the public and private sectors, she discussed women’s roles in society and the workforce, and the measures that can be taken to achieve gender parity. She also encouraged the audience to continue the activism that began after President Trump’s inauguration, and to fight for causes they believe in. “Despite our stumbles and our setbacks, we’ve never been better positioned to take on this vital work,” she said. “Where some see a dark vision of carnage, I see a light shining on creativity and opportunity.” Here’s a full transcript of Clinton’s remarks. --- > “” --- ## Transcript I am here today to urge us not to grow tired. Not to be discouraged and disappointed. Not to throw up our hands because change isn't happening fast enough. Or to even take a pass because we think we've done our part. We need more women at any table, on any conference call. Or email chain where decisions are made. And, a big part of that is encouraging more women to run for office, and pushing the private sector to do a lot better than it currently is. Obviously, the outcome of the election wasn't... The one I hoped for, worked for but I will never stop speaking out for common sense benefits that will allow moms and dads to stay on the job. Where some see a dark vision of carnage, I see a light shining on creativity and opportunity. [ APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ] Now, we saw that in real time the day after the inauguration, when millions of women and men from all walks of life march for women's equality, visibility and inclusion. With Congress of administration Tried to jam through a bill that would have kicked 24 million people off their health insurance, defunded Planned Parenthood, jeopardized access to affordable birth control, deprived people with disabilities and the elderly in nursing homes of essential care They were met with a wave of resistance. We need to persist, to approach future challenges with the passion we've seen these last few months and then to bring that to the voting booth in 2018. To tell yourself, to tell your friends, and your colleagues No matter how you vote, show up and vote for goodness sakes! Be there! Make sure your voice and your vote count! ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4716858/hillary-clinton-businesswomen-california-transcript/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4716858/hillary-clinton-businesswomen-california-transcript/"},"headline":"Read Hillary Clinton's Remarks at a Conference for Women in Business","datePublished":"2017-03-29T19:35:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T08:26:28.430Z","description":"Announcing that she was \"out of the woods,\" Hillary Clinton reflected on women's roles in the private and public sector.","url":"https://time.com/4716858/hillary-clinton-businesswomen-california-transcript/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton","transcripts","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1956ab203fa40f49/6988c0534dd2154fd4efe4da/hillary-clinton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alana Abramson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alana-abramson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1956ab203fa40f49/6988c0534dd2154fd4efe4da/hillary-clinton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hillary Clinton Addresses Professional Business Women Of California Conf.","caption":"Hillary Clinton Addresses Professional Business Women Of California Conf.","creditText":"Justin Sullivan—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4716858/hillary-clinton-businesswomen-california-transcript/","name":"Read Hillary Clinton's Remarks at a Conference for Women in Business"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Hillary Clinton Says She's Back at San Francisco Conference","description":"Speaking at a conference for professional businesswomen in San Francisco on Tuesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that she is back.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/h1lYpuCi/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-03-29T12:52:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/h1lYpuCi.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4716858/hillary-clinton-businesswomen-california-transcript/","duration":"PT2M4S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4716858/hillary-clinton-businesswomen-california-transcript/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
