Apie šią el. knygą

Shirley Chisholm was a force to be reckoned with. Emerging from the humble beginnings of a working-class family in Brooklyn, New York, she carved a path that few dared to tread. With her family barely scraping by, Chisholm witnessed first-hand the trials of living paycheck to paycheck and facing adversity at every turn. Yet it was this very struggle that forged her into the powerhouse she would become.

Defying the odds, Chisholm climbed the ranks to become the first black woman in the United States Congress. As a congresswoman, she was known for her advocacy on issues including civil rights, women’s rights, and poverty, as well as her opposition to the Vietnam War. Her journey didn’t stop there; she shattered societal norms by announcing her candidacy for the US presidency in the 1972 election. Though she did not secure her party’s nomination, her campaign was nothing short of revolutionary. Shirley Chisholm made history, not just as the first black woman to run for president in the United States but as a symbol of what it means to fight for one’s beliefs, regardless of the obstacles.
