A Woman Will Feature On The New $10 Bill

In 2020 is the 100^th anniversary of the 19^th ammendment of the US constitution, which gave women the right to vote. To commemorate this momentous historical event, the new $10 bill will feature the face of a woman. The individual in question has not been picked yet and I am sure that it is a pretty difficult choice to make. After all, there are many worthy candidates and, unfortunately, only one bill.

The last woman on U.S. paper currency was Martha Washington, who was on the $1 Silver Certificate between 1891 and 1896.
"We have only made changes to the faces on our currency a few times since bills were first put into circulation, and I'm proud that the new 10 will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman," U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said.
Lew, who will make the final decision on who will grace the currency, is asking the public for help.
The department will launch a website, and is asking for input over social media with the hashtag #TheNew10.
What's his criteria? Lew wants the next generation of U.S. currency tounderscore the theme of American democracy. The portrait must also -- by law --be of someone who is no longer living.
