WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hillary Rodham Clinton says women have made a difference at all levels of government but the nation has reached a turning point.

She is asking a gathering of Democratic women, ``Don't you someday want to see a woman president?''

On the cusp of a second presidential campaign, the former secretary of state says the nation's economy needs to reflect the realities of the 21st century but ``we're not doing that.''

Clinton spoke at the 30th anniversary gala of EMILY's List, which works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights.

She steered clear of questions that emerged Tuesday about her use of a personal email account instead of a government-issued email address during her time as secretary of state. Republicans have seized on the disclosures, saying she skirted federal rules.
