Black. Female. Accomplished. Attacked.

Sophia A. Nelson writes for The Washington Post:
"Welcome to our world. We've watched with a mixture of pride and trepidation as the wife of the first serious African-American presidential contender has weathered recent campaign travails - being called unpatriotic for a single offhand remark, dubbed a black radical because of something she wrote more than 20 years ago and plastered with the crowning stereotype: 'angry black woman.' And then being forced to undergo a politically mandated 'makeover' to soften her image and make her more palatable to mainstream America."
