(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.

Ugh.
Megalomaniacal National Socialist Democrats all look alike to me: crazy as bed bugs.
This old nag is evil to her very core... She sure gives ancient Jezebel a run for top billing in wickedness.
Geez, will she never go away? Self-reflection? Incapable as all sociopaths are incapable.
Life sucks...then came the Russians!
Did she say, “Wetbacks?”
LOCK HER UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like the Loral Space kickback from the Red Chinese.
Life hands us setbacks, she says. I’m so resilient, she says.
It’s always about Hillary’s advancement, Hillary’s setbacks.
It’s never, ever about serving the American people or upholding our Constitution. It’s never, ever about putting the country ahead of herself.
That’s all one needs to know about Hillary. Know this, and everything she says and does falls into place.
If she spends the rest of her miserable life giving speeches to the Girl Scouts I’ll be happy.
Lock her up
And the ONLY thing this she-demon learned at law school was how to avoid prosecution
Why is this criminal liar and fascism-lover allowed to speak to young people? Isn’t this abuse???
Hillary, How Can We Miss You When You Won't Go Away?
It worked for Kerry...lol.
Hillary as a martyr is even more laughable than Hillary as the most qualified person ever to run for the presidency...
After the fainting spell on 9-11, which I think was much more, they won’t run her....and Bill is sure looking senile.
Too bad she is not saying that from a federal prison cell....
