Born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii Island, Pat was one of three girls of second-generation Japanese-American parents, Kazuo and Shizue Fukuda. An educator by training, Pat spent 14 years in classrooms in Hawaii and the U.S. mainland. It was her experience in Hawaii's public school system that led her to form the state's first teachers' union. That experience was central to her quick rise in state politics, starting with being elected to Hawaii's first Constitutional Convention in 1968. She went on to serve in the state House and Senate, two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, and then in the administration of President George H.W. Bush.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable role=\"presentation\" class=\"a-keyvalue prodDetTable\" id=\"productDetails_techSpec_section_1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎Watermark Publishing (May 18, 2021)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eLanguage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎English\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎188 pages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eISBN-10\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎1948011522\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎978-1948011525\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎14.4 ounces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Watermark Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56658057822513,"sku":"dvi1791346726099","price":11.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/2354\/2321\/files\/a-woman-in-the-house-by-pat-saiki_1.jpg?v=1791346732","url":"https:\/\/amberoak.shop\/products\/a-woman-in-the-house-by-pat-saiki","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
