It's not a really radical definition, and it seems in keeping with what Obama suggested he wanted.
The only thing the repeated speech contributes that it's harder to make the case that she would have expressed it differently, but I don't think that matters much anyway.
I think it's kind of funny, but not really surprising, that sometimes it's just being female that makes the difference and sometimes it's being Latina depending on who the audience is. Wouldn't it be more interesting to make the claim to an audience that wasn't expecting exactly what they would hear? To tell a group of diverse women that it's being Latina that makes the difference? To tell a Latina/Latino audience that being a woman is enough to offer hope of better decisions. If the claim is as valid as it's supposed to be, why not?
