A third-generation descendant of Japanese immigrants, Mink faced significant racial and gender discrimination throughout her life. After graduating at the top of her high school class, she was rejected from numerous medical schools because she was a woman. This led her to study law instead. /2

Mink graduated from University of Chicago Law School in 1951, but no law firms would hire a married woman with a child, so she opened her own private practice. She launched her political career in 1956 as Hawaii debated statehood, driven in part by her experiences with discrimination. /3
