Is this T-shirt about to become true?

Newsday

Available for over a year

More than two decades ago, Dr Ann Moliver Ruben, a psychologist, created a T-shirt with a powerful message: "Someday a woman will be PRESIDENT". It was sold at a Walmart store in the US state of Florida but was promptly pulled from display after Walmart apparently said "the message went against their philosophy of family values." This is what Dr Ruben told Âé¶¹Éç Newsday soon after Hillary Rodham Clinton had become the first female candidate for US president from one of the country's two main parties.
