Bancroft, along with hor seven malo loam mortera set off from Canada's Northwest Territones. The goal was 1.om mlles ( 609 km) across the ice to the North Pole Unlike other oxpeditions, the one wouldn't depend on outode help, Airplanes wouldnt be dropping on lood along the way. Using dogs and sleds, the team would carry everything they needed. Thoy would have to ration their food and try to make it last the distance, Bancroft found the journey gruoling and exhausting. Once, the snow she was standing on gave wem plunging her into the rigid waters of the Arctic Ocean. With quick thinking, Bancroft extended her arms, anchorng them on moro solld Ice.

Read the excerpt from shirley chisholm’s speech “equal rights for women.” as a black person, i am no stranger to race prejudice. but the truth is that in the political world i have been far oftener discriminated against because i am a woman than because i am black. prejudice against blacks is becoming unacceptable although it will take years to eliminate it. but it is doomed because, slowly, white america is beginning to admit that it exists. prejudice against women is still acceptable. there is very little understanding yet of the immorality involved in double pay scales and the classification of most of the better jobs as “for men only.” the fourteenth amendment states all persons born or naturalized in the united states, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and of the state wherein they reside. no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the united states; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. how does chisholm incorporate the constitutional principle based on the fourteenth amendment in the excerpt? by comparing the unequal treatment shared by african americans and women by explaining how life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are not shared by all citizens by showing that the government has made no effort to enforce the rights of all people by conveying the idea that everyone must live by the words stated in the constitution
