According to The New Yorker, portraits depicted on U.S. currency haven’t changed since 1929. Why are we discussing replacing Andrew Jackson with Amelia Earheart on the $20 as if it’s a women’s-rights issue? What purpose does the change serve society?
It’s not that I’m opposed to feminism, and by rejecting this idea, some people may accuse me of such. But I want a feminist movement that’s progressive and relevant. How about purposing a new bank note, the $75 variety? It would be relevant, helpful and unique – words I want to associate with the modern feminist movement, not changes to staples that are unnecessary.
