Answer:

B). To explain how she felt about being discriminated against not only because of her race but also because of her gender.

Explanation:

Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman elected to the United States Congress and the first one to take part in United States' presidential debate. In the given excerpt from her speech, the most likely purpose of her seems that black women were being doubly discriminated against. She relates her experience that displays that the black women were being discriminated not only because of their color but also because of their gender in the political world at her time. Edward Said calls this '<em>double marginalization</em>'(In Orientalism, 1978) that causes dual suffering for the black women. Thus, <em>the correct answer is option B.</em>
