Abstract

The article focuses on design of the U.S. currency where the Obama Administration announced plans to put a woman on a bill. It states that Treasury Secretary has begun redesigns for the back of the note, where a woman might be featured but some leaders thought that woman's portrait on back of the bill is symbolic of second-class status. It mentions that support for women on U.S. currency was increasing and deciding on the right woman for bill includes Harriet Tubman and Eleanor Roosevelt.
