LITTLE ROCK, Ark. For three days, the focus at the 10th anniversary weekend celebrating the Bill Clinton presidential library has been on the past his years in the White House, his economic record, his time in the Arkansas governors office.

But former first lady Hillary Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, held an event Saturday that was firmly rooted in the present and aimed at the future, one focused on the participation of women and girls globally and how it impacts everything from economics to education to politics.

Their event, for the No Ceilings project housed at the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, was laden with references to data and an upcoming project the group is working on about analyzing statistics ahead of the 20th anniversary of a famous speech Hillary Clinton gave about womens rights in Beijing. The resulting report should be linked to our policy agenda, Hillary Clinton said.

The No Ceilings gathering was Hillary Clintons first public event during the weekends celebrations, and the only one featuring her daughter, who flew back to New York shortly afterward. It comes as Hillary Clinton is likely to declare a second run for president in the coming months, a campaign that would take place amid stagnant wages and frustration among voters with President Barack Obamas tenure.

Hillary Clinton, seated in a chair at a packed room at the Clinton Presidential Center, said that her daughter had made clear to her that there is a generational divide for younger women about that Beijing speech, in which the then-first lady declared that womens rights are human rights.

Chelsea Clinton told her mother that I dont think a lot of young women know what that means, Hillary Clinton recalled, saying her daughter added, Beijing was a long time ago.

I said, Dont remind me, said Clinton, a former secretary of state who faces the prospect of becoming the partys oldest nominee in decades, but who may have to try to appeal to an increasingly younger Democratic coalition.

Mark Zuckerberg was still in high school when my mom went to Beijing, Chelsea Clinton said, referring to the Facebook billionaire.

At the start of the event, Hillary Clinton mentioned her granddaughter, Charlotte, as her son-in-law sat in the front row. Hillary Clinton has seemed ebullient about her granddaughter since she was born in September, and the little girl allows her to discuss the future for a new generation in a meaningful way.

A former top adviser to President Barack Obama suggested on Thursday that voters would perceive Hillary Clinton as a less complex alternative to Obama should she decide to run for president in 2016.

David Axelrod, a former White House senior adviser and a chief architect of both of Obamas presidential campaigns, said that he thought the contrast could play to Clintons advantage.

Even when a president is popular, people tend to seek the remedy and not the replica. They want someone who has the qualities that they miss in the president, Axelrod said at a breakfast hosted by The Wall Street Journal. This tends to be a pendular thing. I think in 2016 people are going to want someone who is a little less nuanced and a little less attuned to the complexity, someone who projects more of a sense of black and white certainty.

Axelrod added that such an environment favors Hillary Clinton more than the 2008 environment because she tends to be someone who speaks in simple, declarative sentences with great certainty.

In August, Axelrod publicly criticized Clinton after she said that Obama's foreign policy mantra of dont do stupid stuff lacked clarity.

Great nations need organizing principles, and 'Dont do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle. It may be a necessary brake on the actions you might take in order to promote a vision, Clinton told The Atlantic.

Axelrod, who worked on Clintons 2000 campaign for U.S. Senate, fired back on Twitter, criticizing Clintons vote in support of the Iraq war in 2002.

"Just to clarify: 'Don't do stupid stuff' means stuff like occupying Iraq in the first place, which was a tragically bad decision," Axelrod wrote.
