Shirley Chisholm |
|
Shirley Chisholm was a pioneering African-American politician,
7-term U.S. Congresswoman representing the 12th Congressional
District in Brooklyn, New York (1969-82), assemblywoman in the
New York State Legislature (1964-68), and Professor at Mount
Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, where she
taught politics and women's studies (1983-87).
Shirley Chisholm was the first African-American woman
to serve in the United States Congress, and the first
black to seek a major party's nomination for the U.S.
presidency. Unbought and Unbossed, and The Good Fight,
were two autobiographical accounts she wrote of her
pioneering political life.
