OriginalBelva Ann Lockwood was one of the first female lawyers in the United States and the first to argue before its Supreme Court, and, if Victoria Woodhull's presidential run is discounted for her being too young to actually take the office, then she was also the first female presidential candidate.
Reason
Sorry this wasn't ready when TheFreeWorld kindly nominated it, but it's done now. You could argue whether one other image or this one is the best we have of Lockwood, but I think everyone would agree this is the better composed one, just both are valuable in their own way, and this has been stable in her article's lead (despite some pretty distracting damage in the unrestored version) since about 2019.

I don't generally like to do so as it makes the image look substantially more artificial when there's a textured background that doesn't quite follow the rules of optics. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.7% of all FPs 13:26, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
