Eleanor Roosevelt was an amazing woman. Harriet Tubman also. Frances Perkins is another good one.


My mother is an amazing woman too.


What are your mother's human rights accomplishments? Was she also involved in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Has she served as a delegate to the United Nations? Do tell.


Wait, I'm a bit lost. Are you saying that Tubman or Mankiller (what a name, btw) were involved in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Eleanor Roosevelt is the only one in that bunch with significant accomplishments of her down. The others were great women--like my mom is--but nothing of that caliber.


Wait did you just say that Harriet Tubman did not have a significant accomplishment of her own???

The others are just pandering to "diversity."


Are you kidding? Eleanor Roosevelt was very impressive, but so was Harriet Tubman. Rosa Parks became a great symbol. Any of the three would be great.

I have only vaguely heard of Wilma Mankiller so I can't say much about her.


Rosa Parks was not just a symbol. She wasn't just a tired woman who wanted to sit down. At the time, she was the secretary of the Montgomery NAACP.

Mankiller was the first female chief of the Cherokee nation, and I have to say, the thought of replacing Jackson with a Cherokee woman has a certain poetic justice to it, but I think that a more well-known woman would be better. Personally, I'd vote for Roosevelt or Tubman.

Actually a bunch of conservatives tried to get FDR removed from the dime in order to make room for Reagan. This is a perfect example of the petty politics they play on what should be such a nonpartisan subject.

Just watch all the Confederate flag-bearing southerners' heads implode over that one!

You can vote here

Who else should be on dollar bills or coins that isn't?

My list:
FDR
Teddy Roosevelt
MLK
Regan- maybe too soon.


As long as it's legal tender and gets me a fair exchange for goods, I really don't care who is on it.
