Shirley Chisholm was the first Black woman to be a presidential candidate on a major ticket, the first woman to run for president as a Democrat, and also the first Black woman elected to Congress. Most of her political career occurred while she was married not once, but twice. How her love story intertwines with her career is truly fascinating.
