“A tremendously impressive book.”—Washington Post “Her motto and title of her autobiography—Unbought and Unbossed—illustrates her outspoken advocacy for women and minorities during her seven terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.”—National Women’s History Museum In this classic work—a blend of memoir, social criticism, and political analysis that remains relevant today—the first Black Congresswoman to serve in American history, New York’s dynamic representative Shirley Chisholm, traces her extensive political struggle and examines the problems that have long plagued the American system of government. “I want to be remembered as a woman . . . who dared to be a catalyst of change.” Political pioneer Shirley Chisholm—activist, member of the House of Representatives, and former presidential candidate—was a woman who consistently broke barriers and inspired generations of American women, and especially women of color. Unbought and Unbossed is her story, told in her own words—a thoughtful and informed look at her rise from the streets of Brooklyn to the halls of Congress. Chisholm speaks out on her life in politics while illuminating the events, personalities, and issues of her time, including the schism in the Democratic party in the 1960s and ’70s—all of which speak to us today. In this frank assessment, “Fighting Shirley” recalls how she took on an entrenched system, gave a public voice to millions, and embarked on a trailblazing bid to be the first woman and first African American President of the United States. By daring to be herself, Shirley Chisholm shows how one person forever changed the status quo.Show book
This revealing history explores Britain’s use of concentration camps from the Boer War to WWII and the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The term concentration camp will forever be associated with the horrors of Nazi Germany. But the British were the true driving force behind the development of these notorious facilities. During the Boer War, British concentration camps caused the deaths of tens of thousands of children from starvation and disease. In the years after World War II, hundreds of thousands of enslaved agricultural workers were held in a national network of camps. Not only did the British government run its own camps, they allowed other countries to set up similar facilities within the United Kingdom. During and after the Second World War, the Polish government-in-exile maintained a number of camps in Scotland where Jews, communists and homosexuals were imprisoned and sometimes killed. This book tells the terrible story of Britain’s involvement in the use of concentration camps, which did not finally end until the last political prisoners being held behind barbed wire in the United Kingdom were released in 1975. From England to Cyprus, Scotland to Malaya, Kenya to Northern Ireland, British Concentration Camps: A Brief History from 1900 to 1975 details some of the most shocking and least known events in British history.Show book

JFK, or John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was an American political leader who functioned as the 35th President of the US from 1961 till his assassination to the conclusion of his 3rd year in office. Kennedy was president throughout the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his time in office was spent handling the Soviet Union and Cuba. Prior to his presidency, Kennedy acted as a Democrat in both homes of Congress, representing Massachusetts. Much controversy exists about the war in Vietnam and other aspects of the Cold War that John F. Kennedy dealt with. Many conspiracy theories exist about this assassination, and all of this has become a big part of the American history and culture in the 20th century. Personally, I think it would be wise to study this part of history a little, with its significant impact on worldwide events, coalitions, cease-fires, wars, and more. Read lessShow book
