Harriet Tubman could be the new face on the bill

If we are talking about influential women, we should be talking about Carry Nation.

Her story, as re-told from Wikipedia, is as follows:

Besides being influential in pushing for Prohibition, she really follows the modern feminist narrative. She was poorly educated, married an alcoholic alpha doctor, then divorced him almost a year later after having his child. She used money, both from the divorce and from her father, to build a house and get a teaching degree. After that she married a man 19 years older than her and found God. Of course, finding God means that she gets to walk into taverns, traditional male establishments, and ruin them by smashing all of the liquor bottles with rocks. She divorced her second husband and went on a bar-smashing tour shortly after. She was arrested often and paid for the fines by selling souvenir hatchets. When this got her enough fame she started doing lecture tours as far as England. Oh, and she also celebrated the assassination of William McKinley because she thought he was a drinker.

Did I mention that mental illness ran in her family? She died a bitter old hag. I think it's fairly appropriate for America at this point to have her on a $20 Note.
