"According to Ms. Clinton, minorities will stick together but women won't – which explains why Barack Obama could be elected but not her. "Race is a much more motivating factor for voters than gender is," she told Matt Lauer."

I find this comment telling.  For the first time, Clinton implied that it was race that resulted in her defeat.  Millions of registered Democrats not voting.  Obama supporters.  A critical voting bloc that failed to show up in spite of Obama frequently on the campaign trail attempting to rally support for Clinton.  Was it the black African male placing pressure on black African females not to vote.  Did other women voters of colour face the same pressure? This would suggest a conspiracy or social pressure to prevent this from happening as seen in war torn areas of the Middle East where women are on a lower status of humanity. Unlikely in the strongest democracy on earth.
She was rejected, twice, in 2008 and 20016.  Wrong candidate and not about being female.
