Artifact Overview

Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic Party's presidential nominee, issued "woman cards" after derogatory remarks from her Republican opponent, Donald Trump. Trump believed Clinton's only success came in exploiting her gender, or "playing the woman card" -- belittling her accomplishments and those of other women. "Woman cards" became a hit among Clinton's supporters who backed her fight for women's rights.
