About the Book
Out of print for 40 years, this expanded edition of Unbought and Unbossed digs deeper into Shirley Chisholm’s impact on today and tomorrow’s world. The book is Chisholm’s account of her remarkable rise from young girl in Brooklyn to America’s first African-American Congresswoman. She shares how she took on an entrenched system, gave a public voice to millions, and sets the stage for her trailblazing bid to be the first woman and first African-American President of the United States. By daring to be herself, Shirley Chisholm shows us how she forever changed the status quo.
