Abstract

Kamala Harris' DNC speech, in which she accepted the nomination for president, deliberately avoided mentioning the concept of breaking the "glass ceiling" or the historical significance of her potential win as the first woman president. Instead, she emphasized her candidacy as a symbol of what anyone, regardless of race, color, creed, or gender, could achieve. This approach contrasts with Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, where breaking the glass ceiling was a central theme. Harris' choice reflects a belief that a woman running for president should not be treated as a novelty. [Extracted from the article]
