Trump did worse with white women than previous Republicans and Hillary outperformed previous Democratic Presidents when it came to college-educated white women.. I think she became the first Democrat to win college-educated white women over a Republican challenger in any sort of significant way ( more than 3 points). White college-educated women, since Nixon, tended to lean Republican.
Still, one would have expected her to gain more support among white women. Reasons for that are partly tied up in cultural fear and the way some of them perceived Clinton herself ( shaped by disinformation, RW scorched earth politics and so on)
