Who Should Be on the $10 Bill?

   By didama  Jul 06, 2015

A few weeks ago Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said that a new $10 bill, featuring a woman alongside Alexander Hamilton, will be released in 2020, marking the centennial of the ratification of the 19th amendment.  Who should grace the $10 bill along with Alexander Hamilton?  SheSpeaks members weighed in.  The #1 choice, with over 50% of the vote, was Eleanor Roosevelt.

#2 on the list?  Harriet Tubman with 24% of the vote.  Coming in a close 3rd was Rosa Parks with 23% of the vote.  Finally, in 4th was first female cheif of the Cherokee Nation, Wilma Mankiller with just 2% of the vote.

$PullQuote$Mashable picked up the results of this SheSpeaks survey which you can see here.

I honestly don't know who I would choose. Plus if a new face is going to be on the bill why leave Hamilton stay on it? Can't it be a woman alone?

A women, simple. Could be anyone of the strong women we have read about through History, but a women for sure.

I would love to see Rosa Parks, but honestly, all of the women on the list are amazing in their own right, so any of them would be great!
