Answer: A) To show that early in her career she supported equal rights for

everyone

Explanation:

In the section ''An Outspoken Politician'' there is a description of Shirley Chisholm's life after teaching career. She decided to run for the NY State Assembly in the 1960s and in 1964 she was elected to the assembly. People were fighting for equal rights back then and she was the first black woman who served in US congress so therefore we can see that the author intended to show that she fought for equality.

She supported education, poor students and female teacher which she did successfully.
