A new picture for the $20 bill

I think Eleanor Roosevelt is a great choice although my candidate would be Margaret Sanger. Jim, I tend to think that a requirement for any candidate would be that they had to be dead, also maybe that they have to have a last name although I'm wrong there because Sacagawea doesn't have a last name.

Yes! Margaret Sanger!! She made huge sacrifices just so women could have information about birth control. What she did helped all of us, not just women. But, of course, I can hear the right-wing religious loonies screaming now. They'll also scream because I just called them what they are. Pathetic.
 
Is this worth commemorating?

Wyoming, the first state to grant voting rights to women, was also the first state to elect a female governor. Nellie Tayloe Ross (1876-1977) was elected governor of the Equality State (Wyoming's official nickname) in 1924. From 1933 to 1953, she served as the first female director of the U.S. Mint.

If she's not famous, why isn't she?
 
Putting a woman's picture on our paper currency is nothing new, like I mean not even close to being new. In 1886 Martha Washington's picture appeared on the one dollar note.
