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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlicia D.
