Another thing occurred to me as I read these historical interchanges--There is also a mathematical reality at play here. Approximately half of the humans populating this Republic are female. As symbol is indeed key, perhaps it would be important to see a woman's face on one of our bills!

Not that he didn’t do many perhaps. But I am objecting to the President’s recent proposal to remove Harriet Tubman as the new Symbol on our 20-Dollar bill.
