She said her influence as a truthful, tough politician was decreasing in conservative times. Also, she wanted to spend more time with her second husband, Arthur Hardwick.
Miz Chisholm went on to teach at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Years after leaving Congress, she continued to be invited to speak before many groups and organizations.
A reporter once asked Miz Chisholm how she wanted to be remembered. She said she did not want to be remembered as the nation's first black congresswoman. She wanted to be remembered as a brave person, a person who created change.14年后，雪莉·奇泽姆在1982年离开了国会。她说许多她的选民不理解她的这个举动。她说她作为一个诚实的、强势的政客的影响力在一个保守时代正日渐减弱。当然，她也想花更多时间陪伴她的第二个丈夫亚瑟·哈德威克。
奇泽姆女士继续在马萨诸塞州的南哈德利·霍利约克山学院教书。尽管离开国会已多年，她仍被频频邀请做演讲。
一位记者曾经问奇泽姆女士她希望怎样被后人记住。她回答说她不想以美国国会的第一个黑人女性的身份被人们记住，她希望人们记住一个勇敢的人，一个勇于创造变革的人。
