(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.

Hillary to the family of Amb. Stevens - “your setback was caused by a video”
Hillary resilient?! Well maybe compared with the furniture, lamps, glassware and plates in her election night hotel suite. At least we know that Podesta would be good on a senior league Dodge Ball team.
“My dream of a fascist state of which I controlled, where me and my minions could control every aspect of your lives, was stopped by a few thousand deplorables in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.”
Her Fatassedness in an orange jumpsuit, now that might be a setback..
Did she mention drinking alcohol at all?
Hillary!,”Some people are born crooked, I’ve had to
work for it my entire life!”.
Commute her sentence in exchange for ratting out 6 other big players.
“Let make sure there is a wave of young criminal women cheating to win elections in America. And let’s be sure we support them for a price, in every illegal way we can. Let’s help them shatter enemies lies and lift our profits up.”
Vince Foster and many others had more than a “setback.”
Did she mention drinking alcohol at all?
Can’t wait till life hands her an orange jumpsuit.
So far not seen once in public where she could be video recorded. Parkinson’s??
Setbacks? That cow is blessed beyond anybody’s wildest expectations just by the fact that she and her clan of filth aren’t rotting in some jail cell somewhere, which is where she and hers should be.
Life didn’t hand her any setbacks. She reached out and grabbed them with both greedy hands.
Yeah, with a nod from Obama.
Watching Nunes press conference right now.
The investigation could become quite the show.
I don’t think this will hurt Trump.
I think the left will truly grow to regret what they have started.
Pardon me whilst I wipe the tears from my eyes.
You mean like loosing twice trying to become President?
I hear it got a little windy down there last night.
Talking about her marriage again?
