Hillary Clinton Stands on the Shoulders of Shirley Chisholm

โ€œWomen in this country must become revolutionaries. We must refuse to accept the old, the traditional roles and stereotypesโ€ฆWe must replace the old, negative thoughts about our femininity with positive thoughts and positive action affirming it, and more. But we must also remember that we will be breaking with tradition, and so we must prepare ourselves educationally, economically, and psychologically in order that we will be able to accept and bear with the sanctions that society will immediately impose upon us.โ€ โ€” Shirley Chisholm
