I am a 23 year old university student in my 5th year of a Women’s Studies/Religious Studies double major. I have a passion for history and books and learning. My plan at the moment is to gt my PhD and become a professor (we’ll see how well that works out).
On this date - November 5th - in 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman ever to be elected to the United States Congress. Her words still ring true today: “At present, our country needs women’s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.” Thank you, Ms. Chisholm, for leading the way!

One of my heroes. Shirley Chisholm was a voice for women, people of colour, workers, poor folks and queers. She’s dearly...
