Co-authored by her daughter, political scientist Gwendolyn Mink, and historian Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, this work discusses Mink's decades-long work for women's equality, civil rights, environmental humanism, and peace. The book considers Mink's policy and political commitments and contributions and explores how Mink's Pacific World view shaped her politics as a feminist, a civil rights advocate, an environmentalist, and a critic of U.S. militarism. From the late 19th century immigration story of Mink's forbears through Mink's early 21st century advocacy for social justice, this book offers new insights regarding intersectional legislative feminism and Pacific feminism, makes visible one woman's policy activism in the mainstream of U.S. politics, and brings much needed attention to a woman of color who profoundly shaped the politics of race, class, and gender in the second half of the 20th century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction: Speaking truth to power -- The party of the people: The Tateyamas of Walkamoi: Plantation society -- "Pink Mink": A Democratic revolution -- A great society at war: "I see you have appointment with Vietcong": A dove among hawks -- "You must be a women's libber": A feminist legislator -- Mauch Chunk: A Pacific environmentalist -- Oceans and islands: Violated: A progressive political vision -- Back home in Waipahu: Practicing "we" politics -- A national reckoning: "Nobody around here is interested": The third wave -- Welfare is a woman's issue: Battling poverty -- "No where are you really from?": The cost of belonging -- "Stay safe, Patsy": Epilogue: Ripples. 600 10 $a Mink, Patsy T., $d 1927-2002. 610 10 $a United States. $b Congress $v Biography. 600 17 $a Mink, Patsy T., $d 1927-2002. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01716825 610 17 $a United States. $b Congress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529490 650 0 $a Legislators $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women legislators $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Legislators $z Hawaii $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women legislators $z Hawaii $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Japanese American lawyers $z Hawaii $v Biography. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $v Biography. 650 0 $a Japanese American women $v Biography. 650 6 $a Parlementaires $z Etats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Femmes parlementaires $z Etats-Unis $v Biographies. 651 6 $a Etats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement $y 20e siecle. 650 6 $a Americains d'origine japonaise $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Americaines d'origine japonaise $v Biographies. 650 7 $a Japanese American lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737128 650 7 $a Japanese American women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00981435 650 7 $a Japanese Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00981441 650 7 $a Legislators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995828 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Women legislators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178102 651 7 $a Hawaii. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208724 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Mink, Gwendolyn, $d 1952- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011659.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=467B13A00CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
