The early American symbol often used to depict the colonies and early nation was often a Native American woman. Given the state of the nation today, I think it would be ideal.

In fairness to them, some of the reason for the upset is righteous. “Alexander Hamilton is not someone that people have a problem with,” said the director of the Women On 20s campaign. Why kick the great man off the currency instead of the far more dubious Andrew Jackson? I couldn’t agree more.
But that’s not the only reason. Some feel that women are being, er, shortchanged:

D@mn right! Given that no woman in US History has accomplished anything on the scale of the least of them, it becomes not about merit, but about politically correct pandering.
There are no women in US History who did anything significant enough to be put on our currency. There just isn't.
And if you think for one minute this will un-piss off any woman who is pissed off about this, I have a bridge to sell you. Twenty bucks, today only.
Maybe if the woman does a good job on the ten, she could be promoted to the twenty. Everybody has to start somewhere.
Well said. 100% agree. The new $10 will be refused by me with a request for two $5 or a combination of singles in its place.
The point is, the Democrats still love slavery fan Jackson, and they hate the Constitution and by extension the people who directly or indirectly created it, such as Hamilton.
If we’ve got to have a woman, better Harriet Tubman than the awful Eleanor Roosevelt. If they chose ER it would be a nod to the more “activist” First Ladies like Hillary and Michelle, and it would be a disgrace.
The feminists keep bitching their work is not as valued as that of a man.
Now they have something else to bitch about
I guess Tubman would be a twofer, woman and minority, although I would perhaps go for Edith Wharton or Emily Dickinson. Eleanor Roosevelt is so overrated.
There’s a glass ceiling. She’ll never make it past the 100.
Put Lena Dunham on it. That’s her price, and her worth.
I wonder how much that job pays. Does anyone remember seeing a job posting for the position?
I’m still down with any of the following:
1) Abigail Adams, who helped write the founding documents, and defined the active role of the first lady
2) Dorothea Dix, basically defined what it meant to be a nurse, headed the nurses in the Civil War
3) Hedy Lamarr, inventor of spread spectrum technology, essentially the 20th century version of Alexander Graham Bell
A $10 bill with a picture of Sarah Palin or Raquel Welch on it would be OK with me, but I know that is not going to happen.
At least she accomplished something, and she was a democrat, so that should calm them down about party, and the firsts should keep the feminazis calm.
Just more proof that our unbacked, fiat, paper Federal Reserve notes are just a political instrument.
I nominate Joyclyn Elders... the masturbation is good lady
“There are no women in US History who did anything significant enough to be put on our currency.”
Mysogynist!! If George Washington did not have a mother, he would not exist! War on Women!!
Susan B Anthony coins worked real well too!
