🪙 Nina Otero-Warren 🪙
In 2022, I received a call from the Senior Council for the United States Department of Treasury informing me that my great aunt Nina Otero-Warren had been selected from 11,000 nominations to be represented on the new United States quarter dollar, along with 20 other women.
The American Women Quarters program features contributions from a variety of fields, including suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, and the arts. The first year’s release included:
Nina Otero-Warren
Maya Angelou
Dr. Sally Ride
Anna May Wong
Wilma Mankiller
Nina Otero-Warren was a leader in New Mexico’s suffrage movement and the first woman to be superintendent of Santa Fe public schools.
Nina spearheaded the lobbying effort to ratify the 19th Amendment in New Mexico.
She emphasized the necessity of using the Spanish language in the suffrage fight and was responsible for keeping NM schools bilingual at a time when whitewashing schools was at its worst.
You will see “VOTO PARA LA MUJER” ie VOTE FOR THE WOMAN written across the face of the coin, a popular empowering phrase during the movement.
Otero-Warren strove to improve education for all New Mexicans and worked to advance bicultural education and to preserve cultural practices among the state’s Hispanic and Native American communities.
In 1921, she became the first Hispanic woman to run for Congress.
I could have not been more proud to work and be included with sculptor artists and organizers from the United States Mint, The Department of Treasury legal team, and The Smithsonian to make this quarter happen. Around half a billion coins were printed of Nina. 🕊️🪙
VOTO PARA LA MUJER !
