March is #WomensHistoryMonth! Each week this month, we will feature a woman that made a difference in politics. Patsy Takemoto Mink (1927 2002) was an American attorney and the first woman of color to be elected to the U.S House of Representatives, ultimately serving 13 terms from 1965 - 2002. Let Mink’s famous quote inspire you in your academic journey.
