Über diesen Titel
Discover the inspiring story of the first Black woman elected to Congress and to run for president in this biography from a Newbery Honor-winning author.
Meet Shirley, a little girl who asks way too many questions! After spending her early years on her grandparents' farm in Barbados, she returns home to Brooklyn and immediately makes herself known. Shirley kicks butt in school; she breaks her mother's curfew; she plays jazz piano instead of classical. And as a young adult, she fights against the injustice she sees around her, against women and Black people. Soon she is running for state assembly...and winning in a landslide. Three years later, she is on the campaign trail again, as the first Black woman to run for Congress. Her slogan? "Fighting Shirley Chisholm - Unbought and Unbossed!" Does she win? You bet she does.

Kritikerstimmen
“An engaging account of Chisolm’s life.... This one is a cut above the rest." (School Library Journal)
“Root[s] Chisholm in scene after scene as a pillar of self-assurance, equally unfazed by the acclaim, indifference, or opposition of the people around her.” (The Bulletin)
“A timely and inspiring biography of a great woman who broke barriers and used her voice to elevate those around her.” (Kirkus)
