This historic series honors the accomplishments and contributions of remarkable women who shaped our Nation’s history—leaders in civil rights, government, humanities, science, the arts, and beyond.
About Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was a celebrated writer, performer, and social activist whose autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, brought her international acclaim. Her extraordinary life reflected creativity, courage, and compassion.
Design Details
Exquisitely hand-crafted from solid brass with a rhodium finish, this keepsake ornament features intricate design elements that pay tribute to Angelou’s rich legacy—her literary works, her role as one of the first African American woman streetcar conductors in San Francisco, and her creative achievements as a director and performer. The ornament’s colors and textures are inspired by her iconic head wraps, while the drum and musical staff reflect her love of song and dance.
At the center is a 2022 Maya Angelou quarter, depicting her with uplifted arms beneath a soaring bird and rising sun—symbols of freedom and inspiration drawn from her poetry. Inscriptions read: “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “MAYA ANGELOU,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “QUARTER DOLLAR.”
Packaging & Presentation
The ornament arrives in a beautifully matched gift box embossed with MAYA ANGELOU, 2022, and the American Women Quarters™ logo. It includes a certificate of authenticity, design explanation, and a brief biography of Angelou.
