Happy International Women's Day.
Canada is unveiling a new $10 bill today, and Viola Desmond is on it. Nine years before Rosa Parks famously refused to give up her seat on an Alabama bus, Desmond refused to leave the whites-only section of a Nova Scotia movie theatre. She was fined and lost her appeal, but her act of civil disobedience has made her an iconic champion of civil rights in Canada, and now she'll be the first woman whose face will grace our tenner.
