ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Agness Underwood

Agnes Underwood was a very important lady who lived a long time ago in Los Angeles, California. She had a big job called the chief of police, which meant she was in charge of keeping the city safe and making sure everyone followed the rules.

Agnes grew up during a time when it was hard for women to have important jobs. But she worked really hard and showed that girls can do anything boys can do! She went to school to learn about law and crime and became a really smart lady.

When she became the chief of police, she made sure that everyone did their job right and that the police officers were always fair and kind. She also made sure that people who broke the law were punished in a way that was fair and not too mean.

Agnes Underwood was a great role model for girls because she showed that girls can do anything they set their minds to, even if it’s a job that some people might think only boys can do.
