Lena Dunham asks Hillary Clinton: are you a feminist? 'Yes, absolutely'

Girls creator sits down with Democratic frontrunner and the two discuss why anyone who believes in equal rights is a feminist

In a move seemingly designed to help her connect with millennial women, Hillary Clinton sat down with Girls creator Lena Dunham for an interview to be broadcast in full next Tuesday.

The Democratic presidential frontrunner – whose recent efforts to court this demographic include joining Snapchat and taking selfies with Kim Kardashian– was asked: “do you consider yourself a feminist?” in a first clip of the interview obtained by Politico.
