Produktbeschreibung

"Shirley Chisholm In Her Own Words: Speeches and Writings is a timely, detailed, and inspiring book that helps maintain the intellectual legacy of Shirley Chisholm. The book reveals new dimensions of the congresswoman's politics, activism, and spirit. As the editor, Zinga Fraser shows an understanding of Chisholm that motivates us to listen closely to her enduring voice in this political moment."--Regina King, Academy Award-winning actor and star of Shirley "There's no better way to know someone than through their own words. Fraser's book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking for insight into who Shirley Chisholm was both as a politician and as a person."--John Ridley, director and screenwriter of Shirley "This pioneering collection of the writings and speeches of public intellectual, politician, and activist Shirley Chisholm establishes her as one of the most influential and productive Black feminists of the twenty-first century, though she has been too often forgotten in contemporary histories of the women's liberation movement in the U.S. Her bold call for all women in the U.S. to be 'revolutionaries' is one example of her radical vision of a world free of racism, sexism, poverty, class hierarchies, war, colonialism, and capitalism. A must-read, and a reminder of bell hooks's claim that 'feminism is for everybody.'"--Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Founding Director of the Women's Research and Resource Center and Professor of Comparative Women's Studies at Spelman College
