Women Advancing Equality | Asian Americans

Explore how Patsy Mink passed Title IX and fought against racial barriers by supporting civil rights legislation. Throughout her life, Mink faced obstacles because she was Asian and female. In 1964, she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives to represent Hawaii, serving from 1965 to 1977 and again from 1990 to 2002.
