Nina Otero-Warren

Nina Otero-Warren, née María Adelina Isabel Emilia Otero, (born October 23, 1881, near Los Lunas, Territory of New Mexico, U.S.—died January 3, 1965, Sante Fe, New Mexico), American public official and activist who was a leader in the fight for women’s suffrage in New Mexico. She was also the first Hispanic woman to run (1922) for a seat in the U.S. Congress and the first female superintendent of public schools (1917–29) in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Suffs: Broadway and off-Broadway

Changes I Liked:

The tighter story. The off-Broadway version was good, but the pacing often felt chaotic and scattered. They shaved fifteen minutes off the runtime, and it needed that trim. Though perhaps not so much...

More of Carrie Chapman Catt and Mollie Haye's rumored romance weaved throughout the show. It's now pretty implicitly clear they're involved. They get a kiss. I love it.

Grace McLean in a short grey wig looking like a soft butch lesbian.

Emily Skinner as Alva Belmont/Phoebe Burn. I loved Aisha de Haas, and I loved the wink-wink, nudge-nudge of the "every grassroots movement needs a rich white broad," line. But I love Emily Skinner and I'm so glad she's back on Broadway and gets to strut around in big hats and furs. She doesn't get to do much, but she's doing great ensemble work.

Hannah Cruz is great as Inez Milholland, so I guess I can accept we lost one Asian featured player.

Changes I'm Still Not Sure Of:

Per above, we got Kim Blanck as Ruza Wenclawska, the role Hannah Cruz played before. I'm not sure I fully like the new interpretation. Hannah really set the bar. And hey, an Asian featured player.

I know they had to cut for time. I get why these moments were cut. But there were moments off-Broadway that gave nod to the non-white movements. During the March, there was a Chinese mother who brought her baby. "...your audacious Chinese mother marching so you could be free..." was a line that split me wide open. I'm not Chinese, but I'm a different kind of Asian, and just having that sort-of representation was wonderful. Off-Broadway also had the character Nina Otero-Warren give a rousing speech "your vote counts, your vote matters, use your power, get out and vote," in both English and Spanish, and I loved that. I know they cut because they couldn't delve deeper, but still.

The ensemble is smaller. The big group numbers feel quieter. I think a lot of the lost bite comes from losing this sheer presence on stage. The ensemble numbers also cut certain actors like Grace McLean from playing other suffragists, so the numbers are even thinner now.

I get why they cut it, but I really liked the punch of "I Wasn't There," a song about how the 19th Amendment was signed, but there's no actual documentation of the day itself. No photo-ops, no throng of reporters, and none of the women who worked tirelessly to shake hands and witness the signing. It was like this slap in the face.

There's a new song about Alice contemplating a life with a husband and child to illustrate all she was willing to give up in the name of the cause, and that's all well and good, but I don't care.

Speeding up the pacing meant losing some of the building tension. Suddenly it's the march, and suddenly it's all over, and suddenly we're--and it goes on like that. I'd have been fine taking back an extra five minutes to just stay in one of the big moments.

Most of the vaudeville type numbers were cut. Makes sense. Solid choice. But it does mean musically the songs are less diverse. The vaudeville numbers were also big ensemble pieces that filled the space.

#suffs #probably more that i'll think of soon but it's late and there's a helicopter flying overhead because of the big protests down the street #so yeah keep marching because the young really are at the gates where i am and it's wonderful

January 10, 2022, The poet Maya Angelou (Winston-Salem, NC) is the first Black woman, first woman and first from North Carolina to be featured on a U.S. quarter

The Maya Angelou quarter is the first in the American Women Quarters Program, which will feature other prominent women in U.S. history. The other quarters in the series will begin rolling out later this year and through 2025, according to the U.S. Mint.

A new quarter featuring legendary poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou and other trailblazing American women has officially started shipping to banks on Monday, the U.S. Mint announced. Angelou is the first Black woman to appear on the quarter.

The Maya Angelou design is the first quarter in the "American Women Quarters Program," a four-year program that will include coins featuring prominent women in U.S. history.

The other honorees include astronaut Sally Ride; actress Anna May Wong; suffragist and politician Nina Otero-Warren; and Wilma Mankiller, the first female principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. The coins featuring the other honorees will be shipped out this year through 2025, according to the Mint.

Angelou, who died in 2014 at the age of 86, held many distinctions. She received a Presidential Medal of Freedom from former President Barack Obama and won the Literarian Award (an honorary National Book Award). In 1992, she became the first Black woman (and second-ever poet) to write and present a poem at a presidential inauguration, in 1992. She also held more than 30 honorary degrees and published more than 30 bestselling works.

Maya Angelou, Sally Ride and other trailblazing women will be featured on U.S. coins

"Each 2022 quarter is designed to reflect the breadth and depth of accomplishments being celebrated throughout this historic coin program. Maya Angelou, featured on the reverse of this first coin in the series, used words to inspire and uplift," Mint Deputy Director Ventris C. Gibson said in a statement.

The Angelou quarter shows the writer and poet on the "tails" side of the coin, with her arms uplifted. Behind her are a bird and the rising sun. The Mint says those images are "inspired by her poetry and symbolic of the way she lived."

The "heads" side features a portrait of George Washington by a female sculptor that was first recommended to the Mint back in 1932. At the time, it selected a design by John Flanagan to portray Washington.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen celebrated the new coins, praising how far America has "progressed as a society."

"I'm very proud that these coins celebrate the contributions of some of America's most remarkable women, including Maya Angelou," Yellen said in a separate statement.

Several lawmakers, such as California Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, applauded the release of the new coin on Monday.

"The phenomenal women who shaped American history have gone unrecognized for too long — especially women of color," Lee said in a tweet. "Proud to have led this bill to honor their legacies."

Lee was influential in introducing the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020; the act passed in Jan. 2021 and essentially paved the way for the design of the new commemoration coins.

Uma líder Latina no movimento de sufrágio do Novo México e uma das primeiras funcionárias do governo do estado durante o século 20, Adelina "Nina" Otero-Warren - que se tornou a primeira Latina a se candidatar ao Congresso dos Estados Unidos - forneceu liderança no movimento do Novo México pelo direito de voto das mulheres e desempenhou um papel pioneiro na política.

De 1917-1929, ela serviu como a primeira superintendente feminina das escolas públicas de Santa Fé, onde pressionou pela inclusão da língua espanhola nas salas de aula, o que na época contrariava o mandato federal apenas do inglês. Ela também trabalhou diligentemente para melhorar as condições nas escolas das comunidades hispânicas rurais e indígenas americanas, aumentou os salários dos professores e lutou para acabar com os castigos aos alunos por falarem espanhol na sala de aula ou no pátio da escola.

O bairro honorário exibe Otero-Warren ao lado de flores de yucca - flores do estado do Novo México - ao lado das palavras "Voto Para La Mujer", um slogan sufragista que se traduz para "Votos para as Mulheres".

Em 1917, Otero-Warren também se tornou chefe do capítulo do Novo México da União do Sufrágio da Mulher do Congresso, que mais tarde se transformou no Partido Nacional da Mulher. Vários anos depois, ela ganhou a indicação do Partido Republicano para uma cadeira na Câmara dos Deputados dos EUA em 1921, mas perdeu nas eleições gerais.

Otero-Warren morreu em 3 de janeiro de 1965, na casa de Santa Fé onde ela cresceu.

Get Collecting: Actress Anna May Wong to Grace U.S. Quarters in 2022

Better hang onto that spare change—the U.S. Mint just announced that legendary 1920s starlet Anna May Wong will appear on the back of the quarter next year.

Wong’s quarter is one of five designs that spotlight the contributions of notable American women; the other 2022 honorees are Cherokee Nation chief Wilma Mankiller, poet Maya Angelou, astronaut Sally Ride and suffragette Nina Otero-Warren. The new releases mark the beginning of the “American Women Quarters Program,” which will celebrate five different women every year until 2025. While Ride and Angelou’s coins were announced this past April, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen selected Wong, Mankiller and Otero-Warren for recognition on the quarter after receiving input from the public.

In a press statement, U.S. Mint Acting Director Alison Doone said, “These inspiring coin designs tell the stories of five extraordinary women whose contributions are indelibly etched in American culture.”

Often described as Hollywood’s first Asian American movie star, Wong rose to fame with her roles in films like “Shanghai Express” and “Daughter of the Dragon.” She’s also known for her vocal criticisms of the studio system, as she frequently spoke out about the racism she endured as an actress.

Nina Otero Warren

Adelina “Nina” Isabel Emilia Luna Otero was born in 1881 to a wealthy and politically connected family in New Mexico. Her Latina heritage could be traced back to the earliest Spanish settlers in the area dating back to the 1700s. During the 1880s Anglos (whites) began moving into the New Mexico territory displacing the Mexican, Spanish, and Native Americans.  Otero’s father was shot and killed by Anglos squatting on their family land. Her Latina mother later remarried an Anglo man of  English/Italian descent. They went on to have a large family. 

Otero attended St. Vincent’s Academy in Albuquerque until she was 11 and went on to Maryville College of the Sacred Heart (now Maryville University) in St. Louis, Missouri for two more years.  She returned to the ranch when she was 13 and helped educate her many younger siblings. At 16, her family moved to Santa Fe and Otero became a popular socialite among the elite. In 1908 she married  Rawson D. Warren who was a commanding officer in the U.S. Cavalry. They moved to Fort Wingate, near Gallup, New Mexico. She divorced him two years later and moved back to Santa Fe but kept her name as Otero-Warren. She told people that she was a widow rather than a divorcee and became active in New Mexico politics especially the suffrage movement. 

In 1917 Alice Paul tapped Otero-Warren to be the head of the New Mexico chapter of the National Woman’s Party. Otero-Warren insisted that suffrage materials be printed in both English and Spanish to reach the widest possible audience. 

Otero-Warren went on to  be Superintendent of Public Schools in Santa Fe County and although the Federal Government was encouraging assimilation, she insisted on bi-lingual education and textbooks. During a short time as Santa Fe County’s Inspector of Indian Schools, she was appalled at the poor educational systems afforded to Native American children and fought to improve them.

She remained very politically active in New Mexico, and unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 1921. She continued working  to improve conditions in her home state including being  Chairman of New Mexico’s Board of Health, director of an adult literacy program, and an executive board member of the Red Cross.

The United States is putting 5 women on the quarter over the next 5 years.

Maya Angelou is a writer, performer and social activist. She’s the first African American (male or female) to appear on US currency

Sally Ride was a physicist, astronaut, educator, and the first American woman to go into space. She will be the first lesbian on US currency (she’s isn’t the first queer person on US currency because of Abraham Lincoln and James Madison)

Wilma Mankiller was the first woman elected principal chief of the Cherokee Nation and an activist for Native American and women’s rights. US currency has two Native Americans in the past. Iron Tail, an Oglala Lakota Sioux on the Buffalo Nickel between 1913 and 1938. From 2000 to 20212, a dollar coin with the image of Sacagawea was circulated.

Nina Otero-Warren was a leader in New Mexico’s suffrage movement and the first female superintendent of Santa Fe public schools. She’s the first Hispanic to appear on US currency.

Anna May Wong was the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood. She left a legacy for women in the film industry. Anna is the first Asian to appear on US currency.
