A review by mojojo720
The Good Fight by Shirley Chisholm

4.0

This was a good and quick read. The Congresswoman covered the importance of coalition building, disappointment in white moderates who talk more than that act, the pitfalls of all or nothing activism that new activists often fall into, racial and gender equality, and reasoned critique of the Democratic party. She also spoke way ahead of her time about the bad possibility of one party minority rule by the GOP. She would be disappointed in us, I think.

There is obviously some dated information about politics and a lot of party and daily details about her process of running in the 1970s, but that's to be expected.
