		</div><p>Hillary Clinton has said she is &#8220;ready to come out of the woods&#8221; and help Americans find common ground.<br />
Clinton&#8217;s gradual return to the public spotlight following her presidential election loss continued with a St. Patrick&#8217;s Day speech in her late father&#8217;s Pennsylvania home town of Scranton.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m like a lot of my friends right now, I have a hard time watching the news,&#8221; Mrs Clinton told an Irish women&#8217;s group. But she urged a divided country to work together to solve problems, recalling how, as first lady, she met female leaders working to bring peace to the North.</p>
<p>&#8220;I do not believe that we can let political divides harden into personal divides. And we can&#8217;t just ignore, or turn a cold shoulder to someone because they disagree with us politically,&#8221; she said. The speech was one of several she is to deliver in the coming months, including a May 26 commencement address at her alma mater, Wellesley College in Massachusetts.</p>
<p>The Democrat also is working on a book of personal essays that will include some reflections on her loss to Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton was spotted taking a walk in the woods around her home town of Chappaqua, New York, two days after losing the election to Mr Trump.</p>
<p>She quipped she had wanted to stay in the woods &#8211; &#8220;but you can only do so much of that&#8221;.<br />
She told the Society of Irish Women that it will be up to citizens, not a deeply polarised Washington, to bridge the political divide.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am ready to come out of the woods and to help shine a light on what is already happening around kitchen tables, at dinners like this, to help draw strength that will enable everybody to keep going,&#8221; said Mrs Clinton.</p>
<p>She was received warmly in Scranton, where her grandfather worked in a lace mill.<br />
Her father left Scranton for Chicago in search of work during the Great Depression, but returned often, and she spent summers at the family&#8217;s cottage on nearby Lake Winola.</p>
<p>She fondly recalled watching films stretched across a bedsheet in a neighbour&#8217;s yard, and told of how the cottage had a toilet but no shower or tub. &#8220;Don&#8217;t tell anybody this, but we&#8217;d go down to the lake,&#8221; she said.</p>
