Who? No idea. By law she has to be dead, and “the theme of democracy” is mentioned at the above link. Other than that? Well, she’ll have a vagina!
This is a splendid manifestation of this country’s apparently chronic problem with identity politics. So far, I haven’t seen anyone cast it that way, though the announcement is young as I type.
Do I have a problem with a woman on U.S. currency? Of course not. But this “conversation” we’re supposed to have about who it might be is insulting. Is a woman to appear on the next $10? That’s great! Name her at the initial announcement. This approach:
Q. Who’s on the new $10?
A. Don’t know. But, a woman.
Is as blatantly objectifying as anything I’ve ever seen.
We pay lip service to getting past this kind of thing. We never will.
We revel in it.
