Here's what Girls and Women think

Grace Songer, 13, Cold Spring, Kentucky:

"Dear Secretary Clinton . Thank you for allowing me to say I remember when, for the first time, a woman was nominated as a major party candidate for president. . Thank you for planting seeds in a garden that will flourish from this day on, maintained by all of the independent women in our country and the world. One day our time will come, and I hope you look back on this and feel happy that you started, not a revolution, but a revelation, that we will carry on centuries after 2016."

Juna Skrami, 21, Loyola University student, Chicago:

"Dear Mr. Trump, You have instilled a fear in me that you will never be able to understand. I am an immigrant and I am a woman — two of the many groups of people you have attacked and degraded. ... Chicago fell silent the . morning (after the election). . The city seemed to be in mourning. It is still gloomy and there is still a lot of fear within most of us, but I have hope. I have hope that we can all come together in this time of need. I have hope that we can be joined by our similarities, and that we can look past our differences. And lastly, I even have hope for you. I hope that you can begin to see the pain and the fear that you are responsible for, and I hope you can grow from it. You have four years. Please fix what you started."

Sakeena Ahmed, 9, Oak Brook, Illinois:

"Dear Mr. Donald Trump, Hi!! I am a 4th grade Muslim girl. ... You said you want to make America great again. Can you show me?! Don't we all have the same plan? We all just want to live in peace and not war! ... You are saying we are mean and cruel, but we are not! We are nice and giving! You are saying we are terrorists. We definitely don't do anything that you say. ... My only wish for you (is) to be good. And I hope this letter does make you good."
