(CNN) — Hillary Clinton, speaking at a women's empowerment event in New York on Tuesday, stressed the need for more women in politics, while joking about her own resilience after her November election loss to President Donald Trump.
Clinton, who is emerging from relative privacy after her election loss with a series of speeches, credited her family, friends and many of the women she had mentored with giving her the strength to bounce back after losing to Trump.
"Now, the truth is, life hands all of us setbacks," Clinton said, smirking as many in the audience of the Girls Inc. event laughed. "Now, we know that. And if you have lived long enough, you have experienced them, haven't you?"
She added: "Now, I have had my ups and my downs. In the last months I have done my share of sleeping, a little soul searching and reflecting, long walks in the woods and in those moments I am thankful for my own village, my community and family and friends who have supported and encouraged me.

The former secretary of state used Tuesday's appearance to herald women in leadership and the need for more women to run for office.
"Let us hope there is a wave of young women running for office in America," Clinton said. "And let's be sure we support them, in every way we can. Let's help them shatter stereotypes and lift each other up."
A number of former Clinton aides have heeded that charge. Amanda Litman, the Clinton campaign's email director, founded Run for Something after Clinton's loss. The group will aim to help recruit, train and fund first-time candidate for office.

"After my downfall, I found wearing bunny ears helped."
Did she promise to make a come back?
The money-grubbing witch and her sleazy rapist of a husband made hundreds of millions off her office in pay-to-play schemes, but we can comfort ourselves in knowing that it completely burns her up, every single day, that she lost the presidency. I bet she doesn’t just “reflect” on her “setbacks.” She drinks half a box of chardonnay and goes on a crying jag, alone in her living room. She screams at the TV when Trump is on it. Her voice rises and gets angry when she talks to her loyalists about Robby Mook blowing her chance. She refuses to take calls from David Brock. She cries to Bill while he secretly rolls his eyes while she isn’t looking. She swings between hating Bill and wanting a divorce and being scared that she’d be nothing on her own.
She’s happy for her village.
And they’re happy for her.
Every village has a Hillary.
Clinton looks a lot better there in black face.
By rights she should have an aircraft carrier-sized load of karma squashing her like a bug right now.

Hillary’s latest setback was the countries gain. We almost had 300 million people get a huge setback.
