For the first installation of Lenny, the feminist newsletter from Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner, Lena Dunham sat down with Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton (of whom she is an admitted admirer). The newsletter hit the inboxes of subscribers on Monday where they were able to the lengthy interview with Clinton, where the two discussed Wellesley, "sliming" (yes, sliming), marriage, and of course, politics. Dunham's interview with Clinton has a very approachable tone (which is good news for Clinton, who has been implementing strategies to repair some of her public image issues and appear more open and down-to-earth, particularly with the press), as Clinton discussed aspects of her personal life as well as her take on feminism.
Clinton gave a thorough response to questioning about college and university experiences, as well as the difficult financial position new and recent college graduates find themselves grappling with. It was here especially that Clinton appeared to be hoping to strike the down-to-earth notes that voters wants to see from her. Discussing her humble first jobs and her first forays into politics, Clinton revealed that funky salmon got her geared up about social justice as a young woman. Who knew? To illustrate the tone of the interview and perhaps more importantly, Clinton's intentions with the interview and how it plays into her campaigning strategies, here are some of the most interesting quotes from her sit down with Dunham.
