I have to admit, I always get teary at a rally. Thousands of people in one space, the collective outpouring of emotion, a common cause, the chorus of unified voices … but today, it was more than that. Because today, in between the “I am woman, hear me roar” chanting, it was a couple of women who weren’t there whose voices most rung in my ears. Women for whom today’s rally may have triggered more than just a few tears.
