"A string of notable American women will appear on the U.S. quarter under a four-year program that begins in 2022. The U.S. Mint says its American Women Quarters Program will celebrate women's accomplishments and contributions to U.S. history.
Under the program, the mint will issue up to five new designs each year from 2022 to 2025. Honorees will be from a variety of fields and from ethnically, racially and geographically diverse backgrounds, the mint says.
Honorees chosen for the first year are Maya Angelou, poet and author; Sally Ride, America's first woman in space; Wilma Mankiller, the Cherokee Nation's first female principal chief; Anna May Wong, the first Chinese American Hollywood film star; and Adelina Otero-Warren, a leader in New Mexico's suffrage movement."
