The book affected the feminist movement because Betty Friedan raised the question - "Is that all?" It made women question their expectations of what being a woman meant. Before the 2nd wave of feminism a woman was meant to be happy with being a wife and mother, a carer, a nurturer, a homemaker. Some women rejected her ideas but others thought there must be more than this and they wanted gender equality. Betty Friedan was a leader of the feminist movement which advocated for equal pay, childcare, maternity leave and numerous other agendas. In essence the feminist movement of the 1960's is generally marked by the publication of her book, the woman was a catalyst. So, yes it really did affect the feminist movement.

Is Hillary Clinton a feminist?

That depends a great deal on how you define "feminist". For the purposes of this answer a "feminist" will be defined as someone who believes in or promotes establishing equal political, economic, personal, and social rights for women. What constitutes a "right" is quite the broad question as does what constitutes "equal". In general Hillary has been a strong advocate for political, economic, personal, and social rights for women when they align with her agenda and a bitter opponent of anything in those arenas that contradicts her agenda. When something doesn't much affect her agenda, she tends to ignore it. If you agree with her political agenda then you would consider her a feminist. If you are a supporter of something that opposes or does not advance her agenda but you believe is important to women, then you probably would not consider her a feminist.
