Review:
This inspiring biography delves into the life and legacy of one of America's most trailblazing political figures. The book beautifully captures the essence of Shirley Chisholm's journey, from her early days as an educator to her groundbreaking achievements in politics. Chisholm's story is one of resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to justice and equality. As the first Black woman elected to the United States Congress and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, Chisholm broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of women and people of color.
Allen's writing is engaging and accessible, making complex historical and political concepts understandable for young readers. The narrative is enriched by Hampton's vibrant illustrations, which bring Chisholm's story to life and add a visual dimension to her remarkable achievements.
