The American Women Quarters series celebrates a remarkable array of influential women in U.S. history, highlighting their significant contributions across various fields, including suffrage, civil rights, education, government, science, and the arts. This collection features women from diverse ethnic, racial, and geographical backgrounds.
Among these trailblazers is Jovita Idar, a passionate journalist who brought attention to the injustices faced by women and Mexican-Americans. She founded several organizations aimed at providing education and support for children while empowering women to advocate for their rights.
The reverse side of the quarter beautifully illustrates Jovita Idar with her hands clasped, surrounded by inscriptions that celebrate her achievements and the newspapers she contributed to. Key inscriptions include “MEXICAN AMERICAN RIGHTS,” “TEACHER,” “JOVITA IDAR,” “JOURNALIST,” and the names of various publications, such as “LA CRÓNICA” and “LA LIGA FEMENIL MEXICANISTA.”
The common obverse features a timeless portrait of George Washington, originally designed by Laura Gardin Fraser for the 1932 quarter commemorating Washington’s bicentennial. It includes the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2023.”
Celebrate the courage and contributions of women who have driven positive change by adding the American Women Quarters to your collection today.
