Campaign Seeks to Put a Woman on the $20 Bill

Do you recognize the famous faces on the $1 or $5 bill?

Well a new campaign is on a mission to send Andrew Jackson packing, and they want to put a woman on the $20 bill instead.

The aim of the campaign, Women on Twentys, is to convince President Obama that it's time to put a woman's face on paper currency for the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

The campaign offers a selection of 15 candidates that the public can vote on, including Rosa Parks and Eleanor Roosevelt. So we want to know, who would you choose to put on the $20 bill?
Who inspires you and why?
