Shirley Anita Chisholm (1924-2005) was the first African-American to become a Congresswoman in 1968. She was born and raised during her first years in Brooklyn, New York. However, the fact that her parents didn't have a secured job position forced them to send Chisholm and her three younger sisters to Barbados with their maternal grandmother. Years later, in her autobiographic book <em>Unbought and Unbossed</em> (1970), she recognizes that one of the events that shaped her character was the British-style education she received from schools in Barbados. Besides, she thanks her grandmother for giving her strength, dignity and most importantly, love.

In that sense, even if Chisholm suffered from economical needs, she received the support of her closest relatives to shape her personality.
