Under this program, which runs between 2022 and 2025, the Mint issues coins 25 cents to honor five “ethnically, racially, and geographically diverse” women.
The honorees range from relevant figures in the field of civil rights, science, government, art or aerospaceamong other things.
The other four chosen along with Cruz to appear on the coin are Patsy Takemoto Mink, the first non-white woman to reach the U.S. Congress.; Mary Edwards, surgeon, civil rights activist and abolitionist; the reverend Pauli Murray, poet, writer and lawyer, and Zitkala-Sa, known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, writer, songwriter and Native American rights activist.
