This week on Lady History: It's the Season 2 Season Finale! This year the US Mint started a program to honor women with quarters with five new designs based on women from American history. Four of 2022's five honorees* have been covered by us on the show, so to celebrate the end of 2022 and the end of Season 2, we are taking a look back at outstanding orator Maya Angelou (S1 EP 12 "The Lady History Library"), famous first-flyer Dr. Sally Ride (S1 EP 23 "Space Oddities"), compassionate Chief Wilma Mankiller (S1 EP 11 "[Insert political joke here]"), and praiseworthy performer Anna May Wong (S1 EP 37 "Lights, Camera, Action").
