Belva A. Lockwood appears here in a wood engraving reproduced in the *National Magazine* in March 1903, when she was in her early seventies. Lockwood was among the first women admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia, and in 1879 she became the first woman to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, after Congress passed a law she had lobbied for. She also ran for president in 1884 and 1888 on the National Equal Rights Party ticket, among the earliest women to seek the office. The caption details for this record are unverified, so the portrait is best read as a period tribute to her career.
