Shirley Chisholm Quotes To Celebrate Women’s History Month
In honor of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, find some inspiration from these timeless quotes by U.S. Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm:
Women in this country must become revolutionaries. We must refuse to accept the old, the traditional roles and stereotypes.Shirley Chisholm, U.S. Congresswoman, 1969-1983
- “At present, our country needs women’s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.”
- “In the end anti-Black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing: anti-humanism.”
- “We must reject not only the stereotypes that others hold of us, but also the stereotypes that we hold of ourselves.”
- “Tremendous amounts of talent are lost to our society because that talent wears a skirt.”
