I've read elsewhere Charles Stuart Wells may have been her 1888 running mate. Hmm. Шизомби (talk) 02:11, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Electoral votes

Hopefully more can be found out about that. See Talk:Faithless elector#Faithless electors in 1884 for some further discussion.

Name changes

I used her first married name where appropriate. Surnames should be used, as in professional articles.--Parkwells (talk) 14:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Nearly?

"Belva Lockwood had a 43-year career as a lawyer, but in later years, she was nearly."

Nearly what- disbarred? destitute? I'm removing that sentence fragment until someone can fix it.Saxophobia (talk) 11:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

First white woman?

I thought she was the first woman to argue before SCOTUS. Who put in "white," and why? Also, her legal career should be separated from her political career. The separation can probably begin with the sentence starting "Nonetheless . . ." although that will have to be changed. I'd do it but I'm not sufficiently adept nor qualified to do so. Sterngard (talk) 16:50, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

"White" was added by an anonymous ip about a year ago. I reverted the change. Regarding your other suggestion, not sure how/where to start. I'll leave it to someone else.Glendoremus (talk) 20:44, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Belva Ann Lockwood (1830–1917) was an American lawyer, politician, educator, and author who was active in the women's rights and women's suffrage movements. She was one of the first women lawyers in the United States, and in 1879 she became the first woman to be admitted to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court. She later ran for president, one of the first women to do so, in the 1884 and 1888 presidential elections, on the ticket of the National Equal Rights Party. This albumen silver print of a photograph of Lockwood was taken around 1880 by Benjamin Joseph Falk.
