In an interview with the Des Moines Register (http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/elections/presidential/caucus/2015/06/14/hillary-clinton-extra-burden-president-jennifer-jacobs-des-moines-register-interview-iowa-state-fairgrounds/71224966/), Clinton said those recent TV portrayals of women in power have reduced the "extra burden" she faced in 2008 when questioned over whether a woman could become president. "A lot of different cultural references," says Clinton, "which I find both fascinating and kind of reinforcing, because it does take a leap of faith of imagination for people to envision a woman in the Oval Office, and oftentimes culture, entertainment is ahead of the political system in lots of ways."
