Marie C. Wilson is the founder and president of the White House Project, dedicated to empowering and increasing the number of women in leadership. She is the co-creator of "Take Our Daughters to Work Day" and the author of "Closing the Leadership Gap: Why Women Can and Must Help Run the World."

Building this kind of respect for the women who come after her is the great legacy that Clinton leaves. The women who have supported her owe her a similar version of that respect, by not sitting out an election that she has given her all to win, or by refusing to support another candidate who espouses values similar to their own.
This is the true test of loyalty to Clinton and to the democratic values that drew them to her in the first place.
