It'll probably be Rosa Parks. She'll get the nod over Elanor Roosevelt because she's black. She'll get the nod over Harriet Tubman because Tubman would look like a bag lady on the $10 bill.
Rosa parks, Susan B. Anthony or some other civil rights or suffrage movement leader is most likely, and would be a highly respected choice. However, I'd love to see women in science get the accolades needed to elevate their standing and encourage more women (and men) to enter this field. Here are some top candidates. Elizabeth Blackburn and Carol Greider (counted as one): biological researchers who shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Jack Szostak for the discovery of the telemoraze enzyme. Gertrude Belle Elion, a biochemist and pharmacologist, she won the Nobel Prize for her development of effective drug treatments for cancer. Barbara McClintock, the winner of the Nobel Prize for her work in unlocking genetic transposition. Janet Rowley, a geneticist and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, she was the first scientist to identify chromosomal translocation as the cause of leukemia and other cancers. Rosalyn Yalow, a medical physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize for her development of the RIA technique for measuring concentrations of antigens. Also I would like to see Nelly Bly, who was a pioneer in investigative journalism, something we really need to get back to.
I always feel sorry for Siamese Twins, especially when surgery tries to separate them, knowing that it will probably kill one. Like transgenders, people need to get used to seeing pictures of Siamese Twins on TV reality shows. But some idiots don't watch those shows, so the $10 bill would influence more people. I will tell my congressperson that one side should have Siamese Twins, and the other side transgenders.
