profeminist: profeminist: “The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says: It’s a girl.” “Tremendous amounts of talent are lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt.” “I want history to remember me, not that I was the first black woman to be elected to the Congress, not as the first black woman to have made a bid for the presidency of the United States, but as a black woman who lived in the 20th century and who DARED TO BE HERSELF. I want to be remembered as a CATALYST FOR CHANGE IN AMERICA.” - Shirley Chisholm, American politician, educator, and author. More posts on the amazing Shirley Chisholm Representative Barbara Lee: “Shirley Chisholm is often remembered for being the first African American woman elected to Congress. But she should also be remembered for what she accomplished. She was instrumental in creating the national school lunch program, expanding food stamps, and establishing WIC.” Representative Barbara Lee: “I hated politics until I met Shirley Chisholm. After she scolded me for not being registered to vote, she inspired me to work on her 1972 presidential campaign and eventually run for office myself. I’m forever grateful for her mentorship. I would not be here without her.” -- source link
