Being the first black woman    1    (elect) to Congress has made me some kind of phenomenon. There are nine other blacks in Congress; there are ten other women. I was the first     2    (overcome) both handicaps(障碍)at once. Of the two handicaps,     3    (be)black is much less of a handicap than being female.

If I said that being black is a    4     (great)handicap than being woman, probably no one would question me. Why? Because "we all know" there is prejudice against black people in America. That there is prejudice against women is an idea    5    still strikes nearly all men-and, I am afraid, most women-as strange.

Prejudice against blacks was invisible to most white Americans for many years. When blacks finally started to "mention" it, with sit-ins and freedom rides, Americans could hardly believe it."Who, us?" they asked     6     injured tones. "We     7    (prejudice)?" It was the start of a long, painful reeducation for white America. It will take years for whites-including those     8    think of themselves as liberals-to discover and eliminate the racist attitudes they all actually have.

How much harder will it be to eliminate the prejudice against women? I am sure it will be a longer struggle. Part of the problem is     9    women in America are much more brainwashed and happy with    10    roles as second-class citizens than blacks ever before.
