Shirley Chisholm was the first African American congresswoman to be elected to the House of Representatives. In her speech “Equal Rights for Women” of 1969, she addressed the problem of female discrimination in the workplace.

Chisholm addressed women’s work in low paying jobs. However, she also discussed the situation of women in high level positions, arguing that they were considered less rational and critical, and that they were often ignored for positions in favor of their male colleagues.

The comparison between black discrimination and female discrimination was not significant to her speech, as race was not part of her argument.

Finally, she did address the fact that women who tried to advance themselves were seen as odd, but it did not constitute a significant part of her speech.

The common thread throughout her speech was that women’s rights needed to be protected under the law so that they could achieve as much as their abilities entitled them to.
