The late history-making Latina Adelina Otero-Warren is featured in a U.S. quarter.

The late Adelina "Nina" Otero-Warren is honored with her own U.S. quarter for her role in New Mexico's suffrage movement, politics and education.

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."

A leader in the suffragist movement, she advocated for the state to ratify the 19th Amendment to legally grant women in the U.S. the right to vote. She became the first Latina to run for the U.S. Congress in 1921 as a nominee of the Republican Party; though she lost the election, she stayed politically active.
