Women on 20s

Here is an idea long overdue, putting a woman on the twenty dollar bill. Women on 20s is a nonprofit group that is fighting to do just that by 2020, the 100^th year anniversary of the amendment giving women the right to vote. Members of this group and others feel that having a woman on the $20 bill would send the message that women are not just strong and powerful, but also deserve equality under the law, and I agree. They have a list of possible candidates for the $20 that includes Cherokee Chief Wilma Mankiller, Rosa Parks, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Tubman, Patsy Mink, and Eleanor Roosevelt. The men pictured on paper currency, mostly presidents, haven’t changed since 1929. Women on 20s has a website for voting for the woman the group wants the Treasury secretary to put on the $20 in 2020, five short years from now. I, for one, hope they succeed.
