My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.
I vote for allegorical themes on notes and coins and no real people. I vote for ridding ourselves of the $1 and $2 notes altogether. I vote for going to polymer based notes rather than rag linen. I vote for not wasting our money making cents and nickels. I vote for forcing our whining public to use and get used to using dollar coins.
Problem is, I don't know where to vote for these things. I could care less for putting women (or any dead person) on our banknotes or coins.
Everybody liked Annie Oakley. She is an American legend and an icon of the Old West without the stigma of killing bison and Native Americans. She was a major box office draw in her day. They even made a Broadway show about her. [edited to add]. No one understands allegoric images today. They will understand Annie Oakley.

Don't give NOW any ideas. If a NOW member sees this thread they may start an uproar and demand women on more circulating coins and paper money.My choice is Vivian Leigh or Audrey Hepburn.

They were British and Dutch nationals though.
A better choice would be Jacqueline Kennedy, a lovely woman who brought style and class to the position of First Lady. Too bad she was married to a lout.

Gloria Steinem. I went to a women's movement Steinem lecture with my g/f at San Jose St. Univ. in 1975. By the time Gloria finished listing the oppressed, injured and sacrificed members of society, the only one who wasn't oppressed, injured and sacrificed were 22 year old six foot tall males with blue eyes.
The question limits my choices... and from those choices, Eleanor Roosevelt is the most deserving even though she would not likely want to be remembered on currency of any kind.

Margaret Sanger and Rachel Carson???
They'd be on the bottom of my list.....all the way on the bottom.
Elizabeth Warren... It would be fun for Jamie Diamond and the other too big to fail bank CEOs to have something to remind them of her every time they make a few bucks.
None of those choices has any interest for me or any historical precedent. I suggest: (1) Rosario Rios - after all F. E. Spinner (US Treasurer) was on 50 cent fractional currency notes. Any of the other female US treasurers could be also considered. At least this selection would make some sense.
or better:
(2) Since the idea is to honor the contributions that women have made to the nation- I suggest that all women (age 18? 21? 35(minimum US President age) be eligible - anyone interested and willing could submit her name; a winner could be chosen by random selection as emblematic of all women who have contributed to our nation.
I am going to go along with the "Ms Liberty/Statue pose" crowd.
Edit: Maybe use the obverse of the Morgan or Peace Dollar, could also depict the eagle on the reverse.

Rachel Reynolds the blond on "The Price is Right." At least the portrait on the note would be beautiful which more than you can say for any of the women on this list.

I voted for Alice Paul, Harriet Tubman, and Clara Barton. Those three seem to have the most significant contribution/influence on American history.
I would consider SBA, but she was on the dollar coin, and I think we can honor more than one historical woman. Eleanor Roosevelt should be considered as well, but I would like to see a non-first spouse honored. Of the three I picked, I would choose Clara Barton for the $20.
These folks all did good things, but were not classically historic figures. But historically, women weren't able to do much in U.S. politics, since they couldn't even vote until fairly recently. The above would work if we switched all the bills to scientists, but that's not the plan.
I'd rather see Martin Luther King on the $10.
