Woman on the Back of a $10 bill

Mohammad Khalid

       How would you feel if a woman was on the back of your ten dollar bill?
The Treasury Secretary will announce on Wednesday the redesigned 10 dollar bill. It may or may not have a woman on the back of it. If it does, it will have a great reputation of the Obama Administration.
In my opinion, there should be a woman on the back of the 20 dollar bill because there were famous women that left their mark on this nation. For example, Rosa Parks, Abigail Adams, Harriet Tubman and Susan B. Anthony.
Women left their mark on the United States. Women were patriotic,brave and called for change. Harriet Tubman created the Underground Railroad and risked her life so enslaved African Americans can move up  North and escape slavery.
Susan B Anthony called for women rights. She wanted women to get the right to vote.
What is your opinion? Who should be on the 10 dollar bill?
