The first woman admitted to the Supreme Court bar and the first woman to argue a case before the Court was Belva Lockwood, a prominent suffragette and politician.
Belva Lockwood was notable not only for her legal achievements but also for her presidential runs in 1884 and 1888, being the first woman on official ballots.
Despite her groundbreaking role in politics and law, all votes Lockwood received were from men due to women not having the right to vote at that time.
Lockwood's legacy as a suffragette and advocate for women's rights plays a significant part in American history, paving the way for future generations of women.
