Change is a big deal for many people. It is often just a small action that takes on a much larger meaning and can catch us all by surprise because of it's diversity and simplicity.
There has been a recent push in the media to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with a historical woman.
The organization behind this drive is Women on 20s, which aims to compel historic change by convincing President Obama that now is the time to put a women's face on paper currency.
Andrew Jackson has been on the $20 bill since the Great Depression, but after 87 years, many people believe that it is time for this to change.
The women behind this campaign are Susan Ades and Barbara Ortiz Howard. The idea of getting a women on the bill seated when Howard realized that her daughter had no everyday reminders of women in history.
In order to borrow down the important women in American history, Howard and Ades asked a series of questions to a group of random people.
"We stuck very closely to this rubric of evaluating every candidate by breadth of their impact: how transformational was their contribution. And the other factor we asked people to consider was 'what where the challenges these people faced?'"
"Part of the mission is to educate as many people as possible about as many women as possible," Ades says. "We want to see how many people we can reach."
On the Women on 20s website, over 75,000 Americans chose 15 American women who would then go on to the final round of voting. A few weeks later, the people chose four women who will advance to the final ballot for consideration.
The four finalists are Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt and Wilma Mankiller. Each woman being considered to replace Jackson on the bill has not only helped advance women's rights, but pushed the human race forward as a whole.
Ades' and Howard's hope is for the new $20 bill to be issued in time for the 100th anniversary in 2020 of women's right to vote.
