Meaning of yet: Yet met her request with condescension

[cooliegirly]

"I still blush at the fact that...and yet met her request to write a history of Black women in Indiana with condescension."

I'm having trouble understanding the highlighted part. Does "yet" mean "not"?

[Yankee]

Hi cooliegirly

In your sentence I understand yet to mean nevertheless or despite this fact.
