Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority
“Everyone told her no. So she rewrote the rules.”
In 1965, Patsy Takemoto Mink became the first woman of color in the United States Congress. Seven years later, she ran for the US presidency and was the driving force behind Title IX, the landmark legislation that transformed women’s opportunities in higher education and athletics.
