Patsy Mink

WAYFINDERS is a new series of biographies celebrating Hawai'i's leaders--women and men who have helped shape the islands as we know them today. These books shine a light on those well-known and lesser-known educators, scientists, athletes, artists, activists, and political leaders who have transformed Hawai'i and paved the way for future generations. This first WAYFINDERS book is about Patsy Mink, the mother of Title IX who stood up against racism and sexism and fought for the health and well-being of Hawai'i's women and children, the environment, and gender equality. Maui-born Patsy Mink was a force to be reckoned with and a fierce advocate for Hawai'i's people.
