Which woman's face should be on a $10 bill [View all]

Here's a list of women, all of which I believe are great candidates. I also believe that more than one bill should have a woman's face on it.

too many of those are divisive hfojvt Sep 2015 #2

I think Sandra Day O'Connor hughee99 Sep 2015 #6

She was one of five that appointed George W. Cyrano Sep 2015 #13

As I said, the case could be made for her, and it would be a divisive pick. n/t hughee99 Sep 2015 #15

Since she isn't dead, its also an illegal pick. Travis_0004 Sep 2015 #33

Not to sound morbid, but by the time they get the ball rolling on this, it wouldn't be an issue. hughee99 Sep 2015 #38

While on the face of it, O'Connor, as the first woman to sit on the SCOTUS certainly deserves.... Raster Sep 2015 #53

First, I think a new bill, which presumably will exist in perpetuity, should feature a modern woman. ChisolmTrailDem Sep 2015 #12
