Shirley Chisholm Quotes

It Is True That Women Have Seldom Been Aggressive In De- Manding Their Rights And So Have Cooperated In Their Own Enslavement. This Was True Of The Black Population For Many Years. They Submitted To Oppression, And Even Condoned It. But Women Are Becoming Aware, As Blacks Did, That They Can Have Equal Treatment If They Will Fight For It, And They Are Starting To Organize. To Do It, They Have To Dare The Sanctions That Society Imposes On Anyone Who Breaks With Its Traditions. This Is Hard, And Especially Hard For Women, Who Are Taught Not To Rebel From Infancy, From The Time They Are First Wrapped In Pink Blankets, The Color Of Their Caste.
