This short story is written in part with E. L. F. Cosmetic's #EyesLipsFierce story contest. For far too long, women have had to fight for the right to be treated as equally and fairly as their male counterparts. This piece is a homage to not only Shirley Chisholm but to all of the courageous female pioneers who broke barriers and paved the way for me and all future generations. To female leaders and trailblazers everywhere: Thank You!All Rights Reserved
