In 1968, Shirley Chisholm becomes the first black woman elected to Congress. In 1972, she becomes the first black woman to run for president. Shunned by the political establishment, she's supported by a motley crew of blacks, feminists, and young voters. Their campaign-trail adventures are frenzied, fierce and fundamentally right on!

A great look at a fascinating campaign. Chisholm’s candidacy marks a massively important point in US politics, and is an essential story for any politics junkie.
