Hey ladies
prepare to have
your demographic acknowledged
on some paper currency
or to be specific
the 10-dollar bill.
The query
about the absence of women
on paper money
was in fact
first posited by a 10-year-old
human female named Sofia
from Massachusetts
and then that mission
was adopted by the group
Women On 20s.
While the lucky lady
won't get to upend Andrew Jackson
she may do that
to Alexander Hamilton
or be printed concurrently
(leading to an exciting
battle of the sexes
in a wallet or purse
when receiving change back
from the aforementioned 20).
She says
"I really think
that if anyone has an idea
that they think would be important
or something they think
needs to change
then they should
do something about it."
Which means
that someone with that much faith
in the system
is thereby required
to lobby on behalf
of everyone
and kindly request
that the girly greenbacks
are worth more
than three-fourths
of the dudely dinero.
