I in person like this youthful version of Harriet Tubman , which is an artwork , but shows her as the badass she was during her Underground Railroad years .
If we ’re looking for a badass feminist image , no one hold up the extra mile like Imperator Furiosa from the movieMad Max : Fury Road . She stole the picture from the title character .
How about a newer pop culture matinee idol ? Amy Poehler might fit the bill , so to address .

If it all comes down to an cyberspace popularity contest , we all know who would win . But the ultimate decision is up to the Treasury Department .
