On March 22, the second coin of the American Women Quarters series is issued, this time dedicated to Sally Ride, the first American woman to travel to space. Ride captured her nation's imagination as a symbol of women's ability to break down barriers. Her historic flight represented just one aspect of a remarkable and multifaceted life.

The American Women Quarters 25-cent coin program is a four-year, 20-piece program that honors the achievements and contributions of women to the development and history of the United States. From 2022 through 2025, the United States Mint will issue up to five new designs each year.

The reverse design of the coin depicts Sally Ride by a space shuttle window, inspired by her quote: "But when I wasn't working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth." The inscription "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (Out of many, one) is intentionally placed above the Earth next to America, indicating that of all the women in the United States, Dr. Ride was the first to reach space. Additional inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "QUARTER DOLLAR" and "DR. SALLY RIDE».

The obverse design of all coins in the American Women Quarters series is the work of Laura Gardin Fraser, one of the most prolific sculptors of the early 20th century, whose works span the world of art and numismatics. Fraser's design represents a portrait of George Washington, which was originally composed and sculpted as a candidate to commemorate George Washington's 200th birthday. Although this design was recommended for the 1932 quarter, the then Secretary of the Treasury ultimately chose the well-known John Flannigan design. The inscriptions are "LIBERTY", "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "2022".
