A woman will appear on redesigned $10 bill in 2020 - The Washington Post
june 17 2015
Will it be Susan B. Anthony or Harriet Tubman? Eleanor Roosevelt or Rosa Parks? Or another important woman from American history?
These will be among the names the nation ponders after the Obama administration’s announcement late Wednesday that a woman will be featured on the $10 bill, the first time in well over a century that a female portrait will grace the United States’ paper money.
The redesigned bill will be unveiled in 2020 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the right of women to vote. The Treasury Department is launching a massive public campaign to solicit suggestions through social media and town halls for what the bill should look like and who should be on it. The only requirements for candidacy are that the woman be deceased and embody the theme of the bill’s new look: “Democracy.”
This is silly. No woman has ever really accomplished anything noteworthy in the history of the country. Rosa Parks?? HAHAHA. There are thousands of men more deserving.
So Eleanor Roosevelt was just a housewife...
Looks like the OP still believes in cooties.
I see this is being done for nothing more than PC politics.
you have to have a decent reason to actually do this and politics is not a good enough reason.
And Harriet Tubman was just a train conductor...
We don't? I looked at the Wikipedia. There's a few engravings of her. Or do you mean there's no photos?Dolly Madison would be a nice choice, but we don't know what she looked like.
There's been "tons of women" on US banknotes already -- Lady Liberty, Lady Justice and a pile of various allegorical unnamed women. What's not been featured is an actual woman outside of Martha Washington on a few of the $1 notes in the 1800s.Lady liberty would be good.

I'd love to see Admiral Grace Hopper on a bill, but there are many deserving candidates.

AS a navy vet and computer lover, she would be my choice. She is simply so totally ****ing cool.
I don't get why the $10 is being chosen? This internet campaign to put a woman on the $20 made sense.
I mean, Jackson was an asshole.
