Belva Ann Lockwood
Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood (October 24, 1830 – May 19, 1917) was an American attorney, politician, educator, and author. She was active in working for women's rights. The press of her day referred to her as a "suffragist," someone who believed in women's suffrage or voting rights. Lockwood overcame many social and personal obstacles related to gender restrictions. After college, she became a teacher and principal, working to equalize pay for women in education.〔Margaret Bell, "Women of Spirit", ''Boston Globe'', August 8, 1922, p. 14〕 She supported the movement for world peace, and was a proponent of temperance.
Lockwood graduated from law school in Washington, D.C. and became one of the first female lawyers in the United States. In 1879, she successfully petitioned Congress to be allowed to practice before the United States Supreme Court, becoming the first woman attorney given this privilege. Lockwood ran for president in 1884 and 1888 on the ticket of the National Equal Rights Party and was the first woman to appear on official ballots.〔
==Early life, marriage and education==
She was born Belva Ann Bennett in Royalton, New York, daughter of Lewis Johnson Bennett, a farmer, and his wife Hannah Green.〔Jill Norgren. "Belva Anne Bennett McNall Lockwood", ''American National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2000 edition〕 Though the log cabin she grew up in is gone, her aunt's house where she spent some of her childhood still stands at 5070 Griswold Street. In front of this house is a memorial to her with a plaque that gives a brief biography of her life. By 14, she was already teaching at the local elementary school.〔"Once Ran for President", ''Boston Globe'', October 20, 1907, p. SM 11〕 In 1848, when she was 18, she married Uriah McNall, a local farmer.〔Kitty Parsons. "Who Was the First Woman to Run for the Presidency?", ''Christian Science Monitor'', March 11, 1964, p. 19〕
McNall died of tuberculosis in 1853, three years after their daughter Lura was born. Left with no money, Lockwood quickly realized she needed a better education to support herself and her daughter. She attended Genesee Wesleyan Seminary to prepare for study at college. Her plan, as she explained to ''Lippincott's Monthly Magazine'', was not well received by many of her friends and colleagues; most women did not seek higher education, and it was especially unusual for a widow to do so.〔Belva A. Lockwood. "My Efforts to Become a Lawyer", ''Lippincott's Monthly Magazine'', February 1888, pp. 215–30〕 Nonetheless, she was determined and persuaded the administration at Genesee College in Lima, New York to admit her.
