About This Item
Mrs. Lockwood is undoubtedly Belva Lockwood, 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. In 1906, with Holmes sitting on the bench, Lockwood won an appeal for her client, the Cherokee nation, before the Supreme Court. Lockwood ran for president of the United States in 1884, the very year this speech was published, and in 1888 on the ticket of the National Equal Rights Party, becoming the first woman to appear on official ballots.
