Historic women have rarely appeared on money issued by the U.S. government. In 2015 a social movement called Women on 20s brought this issue to the attention of the American public. This grassroots group helped to initiate a national conversation about the role of women in American history. These coins and notes illustrate some of the few women who have been depicted on American money. The portrayal of these women on money has highlighted their contributions to the nation and helped solidify their places in national collective memory.
