Tamblyn begins her essay by discussing Trump's sexist treatment of Clinton in this year's presidential race. It moved her to have an open conversation with her mother about the sexual assault she experienced.
She then began to talk about the meaning of motherhood and disclosed that her and husband David Cross are expecting.
Motherhood has been heavily on my mind because I am going to be a mother soon. I'm pregnant, with a daughter on the way. I think constantly about the world I am bringing her into. Will I get a phone call from my daughter someday, one she never wanted to make? Will I have to share with her my story, and the story of her great-grandmother’s words to her grandmother? Is it possible to protect her from inheriting this pain? How much do I have to do, as a daughter and a soon-to-be mother, to change not just the conversation about how women are seen, but the language with which conversations are spoken in?
Tamblyn tied these thoughts in with how opponents see Clinton.
"The version of Hillary Clinton we wish for doesn’t exist."
"When people tell me they dislike Hillary not because she’s a woman but because of her record alone, I think, 'How can you be sure?' I don’t think anyone can be," she wrote.
"The version of Hillary Clinton we wish for doesn’t exist. That woman is the Madonna part of our nation’s complex, a symptom of the absurd cultural standards of perfection we apply to our girls. That the real Hillary’s most lauded quality is her tenacity is not surprising: It’s the one quality that any woman would have to have in spades to challenge our collective hallucination of what a woman is supposed to be."
That was one powerful pregnancy announcement.
