| Publisher Description: In 1884, when men were the only people allowed to vote in national elections, Belva Lockwood took a bold but legal step: She ran for president Though her campaign was difficult, Belva never wavered in her commitment to equality, earning the respect of many fellow citizens. A little-known but richly deserving American historical figure, Belva is an inspiration for modern-day readers. |
