"the public chose from a roster of historic candidates that included Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt and Cherokee Chief Wilma Mankiller. According to Business Insider, Harriet Tubman was revealed as the winner in May."

I think Cherokee Chief Wilma Mankiller would have been the most appropriate choice.

6/18/2015 10:41:28 AM

Rosa Parks is awesome, but how in the world did she make that list?!?

6/18/2015 10:45:45 AM

Wilma Mankiller gets my vote.

6/18/2015 10:56:46 AM

^^ "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement"...

Quote :

"Parks received national recognition, including the NAACP's 1979 Spingarn Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal, and a posthumous statue in the United States Capitol's National Statuary Hall. Upon her death in 2005, she was the first woman and second non-U.S. government official to lie in honor at the Capitol Rotunda."

I think Monica Lewinsky blows the rest of the competition out of the water

6/18/2015 11:04:27 AM

And I don't wanna be weird, but due to the way men have historically run shit and been the ones permitted to take initiative, and since their contributions are the types they've deigned to celebrate...I think the list of female Ben Franklins and Abe Lincolns is necessarily going to be a short one.

Can we put ten million tireless mothers/factory workers on the ten dollar bill?

Furthermore, it necessarily has to be a non-white woman because, as outsiders in society, they're the primary ones positioned to defy all conventions and do the things that we regard as significant and extraordinary.

It's Tubman all the way.

6/18/2015 11:05:01 AM

You're right, it can't be Tubgirl because she is white.

6/18/2015 11:08:45 AM

Julia Child for her contributions to so many generations of wives cooking

6/18/2015 11:58:35 AM

I don't like any of those choices, other than Eleanor Roosevelt. What about Elizabeth Cady Stanton or Clara Barton? Audrey Hepburn was an amazing woman as was Abigail Adams.

6/18/2015 12:07:51 PM

i would put Rosa Parks on it.

BUT, i also would be replacing Jackson instead of Hamilton. Because he was like the biggest asshole to native americans in history.

[Edited on June 18, 2015 at 12:09 PM. Reason : LET'S JUST PUT SACAJAWEA ON IT. THAT'LL WORK OUT WELL.]

6/18/2015 12:08:51 PM

Clara Barton could work but only cause she had an ego to rival the other folks on our money.

Sojourner Truth?

6/18/2015 12:14:16 PM

6/18/2015 12:21:17 PM

yo momma

6/18/2015 12:22:29 PM

^^OH GOD YES

6/18/2015 12:22:34 PM

of course then it would only be worth $7

*rim shot

6/18/2015 12:47:03 PM

I have this

Only the ones that make it a point to tell everyone they have the hardest job in the world

6/18/2015 1:05:38 PM

You missed the point in a really big way.

6/18/2015 1:21:26 PM

nah, I just wanted to bitch

6/18/2015 1:29:52 PM

I vote Dorothy Mantooth

[Edited on June 18, 2015 at 1:34 PM. Reason : or Caitlyn Jenner]

6/18/2015 1:33:01 PM

Separation of church and state. That woman is a saint.

I had the same thought but I'm sure some so called feminists would miss the point entirely and throw a hissy fit

Crispus Attucks

6/18/2015 2:50:54 PM

oprah

6/18/2015 2:57:29 PM

It'll probably be tubman i bet, considering the theme is "Democracy".

6/18/2015 3:04:53 PM

Meanwhile Andrew "Trail of Tears" Jackson is all over that good money

6/18/2015 3:29:30 PM

Shouldn't it be the one dollar bill?

It only seems appropriate since it's frequently given to women who are just trying to pay their way through college...

6/18/2015 4:00:21 PM

Caitlyn Jenner is the greatest option so far and is a great hero

6/18/2015 4:36:24 PM

What is the reasoning for taking Alexander Hamilton off? He was a founding father.

Why not make a new bill with a woman on it?

[Edited on June 18, 2015 at 7:16 PM. Reason : Dude already got shot and killed]

6/18/2015 7:11:26 PM

^seriously. Hamilton was probably the single most important person of the era to never be president. (Sorry Jay, Marshall, Franklin.) Plus he wasn't a near-genocidal asshat like Jackson.

6/18/2015 10:23:08 PM

Nah. They're gonna put Bruce Jenner on the $10, and as an anti-counterfeiting measure, when you tilt it, the image changes to Caitlyn.

6/18/2015 11:20:44 PM

Dolly Parton

oh wait, she's not dead

Marilyn Monroe, then.

6/19/2015 12:10:33 AM

She's not dead, either. It'll prolly be Susan B. Anthony. She's already on money, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch. She's white, too, so it's not as big of a threat, either.

Lorena Bobbitt

6/19/2015 8:18:27 AM

Harriet Tubman? Let's put a human being who was literally bought and sold on our currency. That's a good look.

6/19/2015 8:57:59 AM

Chiming in to hate Jackson

6/19/2015 9:20:48 AM

Amelia Earhart?

6/19/2015 9:27:16 AM

Amy Fisher?

6/19/2015 11:32:34 PM

It's going to be Tubman or Parks. Takes care of blacks and women. Two birds stoned at once.

6/19/2015 11:41:39 PM

Whoopsie Goldberg

6/19/2015 11:44:26 PM

Tonya Harding?

6/19/2015 11:53:49 PM

Regardless of who gets it, Kanye will show up at the ceremony to say it should've been Beyonce

6/19/2015 11:56:54 PM

This, she essentially prints money anyway.

6/20/2015 1:02:49 AM

Princess Leia w/ episode IV hair

6/20/2015 11:47:06 AM

none

6/20/2015 7:49:04 PM

How about that hatchet wielding cunt, Carrie Nation, who rammed prohibition down the country's throat with her incessant harpy-like screeching?

6/20/2015 7:53:23 PM

Paula Deen

6/20/2015 8:39:55 PM

I agree with t-swizzle.

really though i guess i'd be ok with harriet tubman. i just think its strange that they are replacing hamilton of all people, essentially the father of our economical system. I guess ideally they'd replace jackson, but the $20 is probably the most used bill other than $1 and the $10 is probably the least used.
