New Delhi, July 20 - Visiting US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Monday said that the modern age is the best time to be a woman.

'It is exciting and if there is any better time in human history to be woman it is right now in the modern world. For me, this is a tremendous opportunity and responsibility that I willingly accept,' Hillary told an audience of over 1,000 at the Delhi University Convention Hall in the Old Viceregal Lodge. The event was hosted by Delhi University Vice Chancellor Deepak Pental.

Clinton was answering a question from a student who asked her how she manages her personal life as she has such a hectic schedule as a politician.

Wearing a white business suit, with a string of white pearls on her neck, a smiling Clinton said: 'I supported my husband. He had a successful career in politics... I just couldn't enter politics as my daughter was growing up.

'It was difficult every moment to make a decision. I found it difficult to enter politics and raising my daughter especially with the demanding schedule required.
