It is something that is often looked over and that goes unnoticed every day, but is a perfect example of the gender gap that our society still faces: the fact that there are no women on US paper currency.

United States currency has the courtesy of being graced by the faces of famed men such as Andrew Jackson, George Washington or Benjamin Franklin, but never the face of an influential female. In fact, the faces on paper money in the United States have not changed since the Great Depression in 1929.

Now, women have set about to change this issue. Barbara Ortiz Howard and Susan Ades Stone created the Women On 20s  campaign, an effort to get President Barack Obama to approve a woman to be pictured on the twenty dollar bill, and an online poll to choose which great American woman should be chosen.

Why and how do they plan to replace Andrew Jackson with a powerful woman? Due to Jackson’s aggressive policies towards the Native Americans and the fact that he was a huge opponent of the central bank, he seems like the perfect choice to replace. The ‘how?’ is easy, all that is needed to change the print of currency is for the President to tell the Treasury Secretary to do it.

Howard and Stone have compiled a list of 15 incredibly important women in our nation’s history, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman and Frances Perkins.

Almost one hundred years ago, in 1920, women in America gained the right to vote, isn’t it time they get the honor and equality of being pictured on currency?
