Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember, there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other. - U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright introducing Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton's nomination battle has been much tougher than expected. Heading into Tuesday's big New Hampshire primary, Clinton is lacking support she might have expected from a critical voting group, young women.

Pioneering feminist Gloria Steinem also shared her frustration with a young generation of women supporting rival candidate Bernie Sanders. In a recent interview with TV host Bill Maher, she stated "when you're young, you're thinking, where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie." Steinem later apologized for her comments but her discontent was palpable.

And with the tide comes the passionate supporters from both sides of the demographic democratic divide, all looking towards a brighter future with a new U.S. president.
