Feminists: Coming soon to a bill in your wallet

Article here. Harriett Tubman, fine. But keep reading:
'Lew is expected to roll out a set of changes that also include putting leaders of the women’s suffrage movement on the back of the $10 bill, and incorporating civil rights era leaders and other important moments in American history into the $5 bill. Also, Jackson isn’t getting completely booted off the $20 bill. He’s likely to remain on the back.'
Given the unabashed racism and for some suffragettes, their female supremacy beliefs, I think the idea of putting early suffragettes on a bill around the same time Tubman gets placed on one is enough to make her spin in her grave.
Can't beat these times we live in.
