"Our representative democracy is not working because the Congress that is supposed to represent the voters does not respond to their needs. I believe the chief reason for this is that it is ruled by a small group of old men."
I found Chisholm's "Unbought and Unbossed" in a Berkeley bookstore about three and a half months ago. Word of her passing makes it first on my reading list for this year.
