The late U.S. Rep. Patsy Takemoto Mink, champion of the landmark Title IX legislation, will be the 12th woman honored in the U.S. Mint's American Women Quarters™ Program. Mink, a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa alumna, filled her life with firsts—the first Japanese-American woman admitted to practice law in Hawaiʻi, the first Asian American woman, and first woman of color, to be elected to the U.S. Congress. She fought for gender and racial equality, affordable childcare and environmental protection.
