Hillary Clinton replaces iconic photo as Twitter avatar

The iconic photo of Hillary Rodham Clinton checking out her BlackBerry is no longer her avatar on Twitter.

The likely presidential candidate has changed the photo to a silhouette of a woman with a link to Not There, an awareness effort launched Sunday on International Women's Day to make the point that women are "not there" yet when it comes to gender equality here in the United States and abroad.

Clinton's previous photo -- taken in 2011 while she's secretary of State and sitting at her desk on a C-17 military transport plane headed to Tripoli, Libya -- helped inspire the popular "Texts from Hillary" meme.  That photo is still used as the background for Clinton's Twitter page.

In a tweet posted Sunday, Clinton said that she's trying "to raise awareness on how far we've come in reaching equal right for women & girls worldwide." Chelsea Clinton is also using the same silhouette for her Twitter photo.

A controversy has erupted over Clinton's use of a private e-mail account while secretary of State. She has only used Twitter to say she wants the public to see her electronic communications and that she has turned them over to State for review. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a key Democratic ally, said Sunday that Clinton should "come forward and say just what the situation is" regarding her State e-mails.

Clinton is set to discuss the No Ceilings Full Participation report on Monday in New York. No Ceilings, an initiative of the Clinton Foundation and the Gates Foundation, spent a year gathering data on women to make a case for gender equality.

While the report says that "significant progress" has been made in areas such as health and education, it also states that the "pace of change has been far too slow" on issues related to women's economic participation, leadership and security.
