A new U.S. coin will recognize the life and achievements of an early 20th-century leading Hispanic American figure in politics and education.
Adelina "Nina" Otero-Warren's image will be stamped on a U.S. quarter, in recognition of her leadership in New Mexico's movement for women's right to vote, her pioneering role in politics and as the first female superintendent of the Santa Fe public schools.
The quarter that will bear her image is set to roll out Aug. 15, as part of the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters Program, a four-year program that started earlier in the year focusing on women's accomplishments and contributions to American history.
The quarter's tails design includes Otero-Warren herself, as well as yucca flowers — New Mexico's state flowers — and the suffragist slogan in Spanish, "Voto para la mujer," which means "votes for women."

Judges at a school spelling bee are stumped and infuriated when a child dares to ask them for a definition of the word “woman.”Become a premium subscriber: ...
They actually use the word woman in Spanish!
