Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelina_Otero-Warren:
María Adelina Isabel Emilia "Nina" Otero-Warren (October 23, 1881 – January 3, 1965) was an American woman's suffragist, educator, and politician. Otero-Warren created a legacy of civil service through her work in education, politics, and public health. She became one of New Mexico's first female government officials when she served as Santa Fe Superintendent of Instruction from 1917 to 1929. Otero-Warren was the first Latina to run for Congress, running unsuccessfully in 1922 as the Republican nominee to represent New Mexico's at-large district in the U.S. House of Representatives.

What if you tried to write the American story using only half the alphabet? Even if you could include a few more letters—the important ones, the most visible ones or some that haven't been given their due—you'd be hard-pressed to capture what happened. We are surrounded by American narratives that routinely miss the contributions of half the population—women—or at best highlight a few groundbreaking, exceptional cases. With a mandate to tell the American story inclusively, accurately and vividly, the Smithsonian launched the American Women's History Initiative in 2018.
