In addition, the League of Women Voters of Palos-Orland is participating in the project to bring a woman to the face of American currency. Eleanor Roosevelt is one of the four finalists for this honor and the organization Women on 20s is taking the final vote on their website.

The League would like to spread the word on this important movement to put a woman on the face of our twenty dollar bills by the year 2020 which is the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution that guaranteed women in America the right to vote. “Dinner with Eleanor” should help us get to know her better.
