In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month, Judy Tzu-Chun Wu and Gwendolyn Mink join us to discuss their new biography of Congresswoman Mink, "Fierce and Fearless: Patsy Takemoto Mink, First Woman of Color in Congress". Wu is a professor of Asian American Studies and director of the Humanities Center at the University of California, Irvine. Gwendolyn Mink, Patsy's daughter, is a noted political science scholar and first-hand witness to the many political struggles that her mother had to overcome. Their book provides vivid details of how trailblazer Patsy Takemoto Mink changed the future of American politics.
