Boy, is my hat off to her. She was one of those rare people who sit at the extreme end of several Gaussian distributions, laughing, doing their own thing. Any bank notes she could be put on?

She could go on any of them. The $100 bill would be my choice. Sadly, this administration seems somewhat averse to strong women, especially women of color, so it's not likely to happen before Trump is out of office.
