This would be my choice as well.
Amelia Earhart.
I voted for Elanor Rosevelt, Harriet Tubman and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. It was hard to choose - they all made great contributions!
I felt that the woman did need to be somewhat recognizable to be on the bill, if not in name only. And of all of the wonderful contributions the women made as a whole, I felt those 3 spoke most loudly to me.
I’d be very happy with whomever wins 
But then they’d go missing all the time.
I’d love it if we moved away from putting presidents on the money. Milennia of tradition be damned, it irks me that our politicians are so intertwined with our currency. So yeah, I’d be cool with Susan B. Anthony or Rosa Parks.
However, Ayn Rand would be far more appropriate if we wanted to be honest.
The market has spoken.
Madonna.
Bruce Jenner
I want dollar coins. I just want some heft to them, like British pound coins. They need to feel like they’re worth more than a quarter.
I vote for Sojourner Truth, from the list above.
Eleanor Roosevelt is my vote.
Grace Murray Hopper
Except- he wasnt responsible for the Trail of Tears. It was Martin Van Buren.
wiki: *Many white Americans were outraged by the dubious legality of the treaty and called on the government not to force the Cherokee to move. For example, on April 23, 1838, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a letter to Jackson’s successor, President Martin Van Buren, urging him not to inflict “so vast an outrage upon the Cherokee Nation.”[15]
Nevertheless, as the May 23, 1838, deadline for voluntary removal approached, President Van Buren assigned General Winfield Scott to head the forcible removal operation. He arrived at New Echota on May 17, 1838, in command of U.S. Army and state militia totalling about 7,000 soldiers. *
I suggest just putting Lady Liberty. No controversy.
I think Rosa Parks, hands down.
Kills 3 birds with one stone. Woman. Black. Non-president.
I’d like to see us move away from presidents, other than Founders. Jefferson, Washington, Franklin. OK. Maybe even Lincoln, healer of a divided nation. But otherwise, let’s honor national heroes.
And it sends a message that national heroes can arise from anywhere, not just war.
Yep, Rosa Parks. I think that’s perfect!
Eleanor Roosevelt… sorry, would never have done 1/10th of what you did if you hadn’t married Franklin.
I do not want a fictitious woman (Lady Liberty? Really?) When there are non-fictional men on our money.
Seriously, it’s 2015 and there is some debate about maybe acknowledging half the human race on our money? We still have angry old white men on every single one except for the dollar coin, which no one likes anyway?
Rosa Parks or Sojourner Truth. Let’s acknowledge how much black women have done for this country. And we should change one more bill, to have a white woman on it.
Really I think we should update all of our money, except maybe good ol’ George. I’m not saying we should change them all to women or anything, but change them to more appropriate people instead of (often scummy!) Presidents.
Lincoln? Without him there’s still be slaves.
And the C-note is Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest men in history. Then there’s Jefferson and Hamilton, both Founding Fathers.
You have a case for Grant & Jackson, sure.
No thanks. I have to work like hell to keep women off my money!
Ms. Parks or Mrs. Roosevelt would be fine with me. FDR wouldn’t have been anybody if Eleanor had not taken him to the poorer houses of she was working with and seen the conditions they lived in. Their marriage may have become a formality, but their political partnership did not, and Eleanor was a huge influence in bringing about things like social security.
I’d also go for a young and full color Grace Kelly.
Lets get away from politicians. How about artists, authors, composers, scientists?
Emily Dickinson
Louisa May Alcott
Edith Wharton
Willa Cather
Ruth Crawford Seeger
Laurie Anderson
Ella Fitzgerald
Florence Price
Georgia O’Keeffe
Cornelia Clapp
Alice Brown
Annie Jump Cannon
Too many choices, to be honest.
$20 bills? Do people still use those?
This was my first thought, even before I saw your post. I like to think that it reflects the level of seriousness with which I view who is on the $20 bill, rather than the level of seriousness with which I view the myriad important women of American history.
I’m torn between Rosa Parks and Alice Paul. As BLD noted the former fills two historically excluded groups so I’d lean toward her.
