This one-woman show tells the largely unheard story of Shirley St. Hill Chisholm, a Brooklyn-born politician of immigrant parents, who, in the 20th century, was the first African-American woman to win a seat in Congress and run for President. Starring Ingrid Griffith as Chisholm and the characters that surround her life,  Unbossed & Unbowed dramatizes the Civil Rights era, the unrest of the 1960s, the patriarchal system, and the all-boys network Shirley Chisholm was up against, many themes we still see in today's politics.
