福师《高级英语（一）》第八课FAQ
I’d Rather Be Black than Female
Overview
　　The article discusses two major social problems in the U.S. – racial discrimination and women’s rights in a man’s world. Written in the 1970s, the text tells us what is happening in the U.S. today. As a black woman elected to Congress, Shirley Chisholm here presents a true picture of the two major social problems in the U.S. from her personal experience.
　　The article aims at raising the public’s awareness of sexual inequality for women. The author thinks it is harder to eliminate the prejudice against women, because women in the U.S. are much more brainwashed and content with their roles as second-class citizens than blacks ever were. She calls upon the American women to realize the qualities they naturally have or have had to develop because of their suppression by men. She holds that the country needs women’s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.
