How many of us remember what we learned in history class in high school or college? I know I don’t. The history I remember is what I learned outside of class because it was also more fascinating than studying whatever war my teacher thought was important.

Last year we featured the three Hapa women who hold political office. This year for Women’s History Month, we wanted to celebrate the mixed AAPI women who made history! Weird coincidence: three of these women were born on October 16!
