U.S. Treasury1 Secretary Jack2 Lew said a woman will be featured on a redesigned $10 bill in 2020 -- the 100th anniversary of the Constitution's 19th Amendment3, which gave women the right to vote.
美国财政部部长雅各布·卢（Jack Lew）表示，从2020年开始，新版十元美钞将印上一位女性的头像——以纪念美国宪法第19条修正案生效100周年。该修正案赋予了女性投票权。
A decision on who the woman will be won't be made for several months.
The last woman on U.S. paper currency was Martha Washington, who was on the $1 Silver Certificate between 1891 and 1896.
"We have only made changes to the faces on our currency a few times since bills were first put into circulation, and I'm proud that the new 10 will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman," Lew said.
Lew, who will make the final decision on who will grace the currency, is asking the public for help.
The department will launch a website, and is asking for input4 over social media with the hashtag #TheNew10.
