In an era when women faced societal restrictions in the legal field, Belva Lockwood emerged as a fearless advocate for justice and equality. Born in 1830, she overcame adversity to become the first woman to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court.

From a humble beginning in Royalton, New York, Belva lacked social status and riches. Widowed at 22 with a toddler, she fought for education and persuaded Genesee College to admit her. Despite societal norms, she became a prominent lawyer, challenging gender stereotypes.

Belva's vibrant household in downtown Washington became a legal hub. She fearlessly commuted on her bike, challenging societal norms. Her legal career saw notable cases, including being the first woman to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court in Kaiser v. Stickney.

In her 70s and 80s, Belva continued her legal career, advocating for peace and representing the Eastern Cherokee in a successful Supreme Court case. An advocate for women's suffrage, she marched for the cause until her passing in 1917 at 86.

Belva Lockwood's legacy lives on as a pioneer for women in law and politics.
