Born OTD, 1927: Patsy Mink.
Twelve medical schools rejected her because she was a woman.
Law firms wouldn’t hire her because she was married with a child.

She turned every barrier into fuel — and became the first Woman of Color and first Asian American woman in Congress.

A young Patsy Takemoto couldn’t go to medical school because too many women applied. So she went to law school and ended up changing the law: #TitleIX As U.S. Rep. #PatsyMink, she became the first woman of color and Asian American woman in Congress. #Sainthood expresses itself in so many ways

Patsy Mink didn’t just make history—she changed the game.

Her fight for Title IX opened doors for generations of women in education and beyond.

Equality isn’t given. It’s built.

“We have to build things we want to see accomplished, in life and in our country.” — Patsy Mink

A reflection for the week: democracy is built, not inherited.
