Also Zachary Quinto's first major outing before being the new Spock.

I'...DEANNA: Thanks for your kind words, Deanna! I'm so glad you're still blogging too, and I'm grateful to Blogger for bringing us together!<br /><br />MICHAEL: And thank you too!<br />Yeah, those are excellent choices---real-live action heroes!<br /> and I think they're top-ranked too, so quite likely it will be one of them. (Harriet Tubman, I think, was #1 in the popular vote.)<br /><br />To blend African American women + outer space, <br />I also nominate Nichelle Nichols (Uhura on <i>Star Trek</i>).<br />I'm not being facetious, either---no less a figure than Martin Luther King praised her work for portraying a black woman in a powerful position.<br /><br />FATHER: "1/2 gay" Ha! :)<br />(I think they call that "bisexual"?) <br /><br />Anyway, yeah Eleanor would be great, but I bet she's too "Socialist".<br />Someone else suggested Frances Perkins.<br /><br />Along those lines, how 'bout Emma Goldman? (Oh, no--I checked--she was never a US citizen.)<br />Well, then, Mother Jones?<br /><br />One woman per state is an AWESOME idea.<br /><br />ZHOEN: I like your thinking---Nellie Bly. Since women couldn't hold office for so long, it's good to look to other areas.<br /><br />Jane Addams of Hull House is another.<br /><br />Willa Cather.<br />Not my favorite artist, but popular: Georgia O'Keeffe.<br /><br />Billie Holiday, or Ella Fitzgerald! That'd be a cool choice!<br /><br />Anne Hutchinson<br /><br />Pocahontas (kids will know her from the movie!)<br />Abigail Adams ("remember the women")<br />Annie Oakley<br />Helen Keller<br /><br />Yoko Ono! [though the person must be dead, so that bill would have to wait a while]<br /><br />So many---we definitely need 50 different dollars.<br /><br /><br />Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-44444621484011445352015-10-02T21:56:06.675-05:002015-10-02T21:56:06.675-05:00Nellie Bly would be another one.

And not just one white woman to represent us all, so they can call it good and go back to white statesmen. <br /><br /><br />Zhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-23647934971728652742015-10-02T18:36:38.546-05:002015-10-02T18:36:38.546-05:00i think we should follow the europeans and the eur...i think we should follow the europeans and the euro. each state could have its own female figure. <br /><br />if each state had a woman selection (kind of like state quarters) women would be the majority figure on bills.<br /><br />sally ride is an interesting choice. i am more parochial. i would like<br />to see eleanor roosevelt on one of the bills. amazing woman and 1/2 gay perhaps.<br />i could be a politician.<br />love you fatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-70775122198374634302015-10-02T14:45:57.996-05:002015-10-02T14:45:57.996-05:00Congratulations on your MMth post!
