American attorney, politician, educator, and author (1830–1917) who was 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. Scarce AQS on an off-white 6 x 8 sheet, dated March 9, 1888, in full: "Life is an open book in which we read in age what we write in youth, Belva A. Lockwood, Wash. D.C." In fine condition.
