Truly, and for many reasons.

I want to be able to hand over that bill with her stern face to everyone. In fact, I'll switch completely to $10 bills for all cash transactions.

I would also like to see Elizabeth C. Stanton.

There are so many great options.

Dammit I wish I could remember the name of the woman who made the observation, but it was along these lines:

Tubman shouldn't be featured on the currency that was, in its day, used to purchase her as a slave.


Frankly I can't think of a way to refute that.

Outting Harriet Tubman's face on US currency is a HUGE IN-YOUR-FACE to how that currency was once used.

But my vote also goes to Harriet Tubman. She started out with incredible disadvantages and showed remarkable determination and courage in becoming a true American hero.

Plus, she's a twofwer (African American woman).

Good timing with the confederate flag coming down, and it will be better timing if the release of the new $10 bill coincides with a restoration of the Civil Rights Act and the strikedown of voter disenfranchisement laws.

Tubman for one bill, Roosevelt for another.

Win win!

I can't think of anyone who did more or inspired more girls and women with her example.

A coin isn't enough.

that Beyonce is not in consideration for her talent and hard work.

Tubman comes first, in my opinion

However, I have a question. Shouldn't half our currency have notable women on it? We are half the population and should have a greater representation.

No further comment needed!

I see four great choices already: Tubman, Anthony, Roosevelt and Ride.

And The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is just one major reason!

... I think of her as one of the greatest Americans.
Certainly, some of the other women mentioned on this thread are deserving too. We would do well to have a few pieces of currency featuring women.

A great woman.

Put Frances Perkins on the twenty, then, and Eleanor on the ten.

I think it's the fifty.

Nothing against H. Tubman but Eleanor is my choice!

........I'll still vote for Mrs. Roosevelt.

But, excuse me.......Beyonce??????

LAUGH!!!!

The more I have read about Eleanor Roosevelt, the more I admire her.

She was a leading and early crusader for ready access to birth control. The reichwingers would never ever permit it.

Wonder Woman.

to be sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Moulton_Marston

Doctor, lawyer, writer, inventor of the systolic blood pressure test, psychologist, and comic book creator. Quite a resume.

of the suffragette movement and the fight for birth control. Highly recommend

the hobby, I will check that out.

for obvious reasons.

I love the Roosevelt choice. Margaret Fuller also deserves an honorable mention, but too few people are familiar with her work.

In name recognition and in showing what is great about this country. People conjure an image when they hear Rosa Parks.

She certainly symbolizes the spirit of the promise of America.

Francis Perkins, Rosa Parks and many other would work for me as well.


But on a side note we should put a woman on the $20 note instead of the $10 note.


Keep Hamilton and scrub Jackson.

No thanks.

We have 50 state quarters, for example. Why can't some $10 bills have Alexander Hamilton, some have Harriet Tubman, some have Thomas Edison, etc? As long as they all have a big 10 on it, I don't think anyone will get confused.

and they have a wide array of distinguished historical personages on their currency, past and quite recent.

Good idea.

Yes, if they all had a big 10, we would know that its a 10.00 bill, but I think it would take a bit longer, and errors would increase. Plus there could be an effect on some machines in the design was non standard.

she did what she did at the risk of her life.

or Rosa Parks are the only two choices that represent the spirit and strength of the American Woman imo.

Hard to pick just one.

we might be able to put President Clinton on it. And I don't mean Bill.

I am thinking something Mt. Rushmore-esque (obviously with more realistic images, not stone!).

But there are lots of great options.
