A Woman Will Be Chosen For The New $10 Bill
The U.S. Treasury has announced that it will replace Alexander Hamilton on the U.S. $10 bill. On Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said a woman will be featured on a redesigned $10 bill in 2020 celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Constitution’s 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
There have only been 4 women featured on US Dollar currency, Martha Washington, Pocahontas, Susan B. Anthony and Sacagewea.
While Lews is offering the public the chance to weigh in on the decision for the next woman to be celebrated on United States currency, Conquer Him wonders who the next choice will be.
Who do you believe should be placed on the new ten dollar bill and why? Does this action indicate a new wave of reverence for women

Any or all of the following would not be out of place:
1. Billie Holliday
2. Big Maybelle
3. Big Mama Thornton
4. Irma Thomas
5. Sarah Vaughan
6..Dinah Washington
7. Etta James
8. Memphis Minnie
9. Bessie Smith
10. Ronnie Spector
These remarkable women have all been leaders in their field of cultural creativity for a long time. There are, of course, many others.
I’d recommend Catherine Wolfe. Unfortunately, not too many people know her or her pioneering effort in promoting female led relationships.
Rosa Parks jumps to mind.
