About the American Women Quarters Program

The American Women Quarters Program is a multi-year tribute to women from diverse backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and parts of the US.  They were chosen for their contributions to the abolition of slavery, civil rights activism, roles in government, as well as expertise in science, the arts, humanities and much more.

From 2022 through 2025, five new coins were released each year.  Each coin features a distinctive reverse design honoring an American woman, along with her name, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “QUARTER DOLLAR.”   The obverse side showcases a new design of George Washington. 

Edith Kanaka’ole (1913-1979) spent her life preserving and educating others about Hawaii’s rich history and culture.  She was a dancer, chanter, and hula teacher.  She composed music traditional native Hawaiian music and choreographed hulas to accompany the songs and chants.

Kanaka’ole was an early advocate for preserving Hawaiian culture at a time when the island was being forced to adopt American culture.  She also worked as a college professor, where she taught the Hawaiian language.
