Dr. Mary Herring says that everything about Hillary Rodham Clinton including her name
elicits complex and varied reactions. As the first woman with a serious chance of attaining
the presidential nomination for the Democratic party in the U.S., she sparks responses
based on her gender, her character, and the race and gender of her opponent. She is a
professor in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Wayne State University. Her research interests are statistics, American politics, public administration and methodology.

process, friends and family contribute their perspectives demonstrating the complexity of
this issue. Ann Shin will be present to discuss the film.
