Belva Lockwood and Mary Walker,1912

Belva Lockwood and Dr. Mary Walker. Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood (October 24, 1830 - May 19, 1917) was an American attorney, politician, educator, and author. Lockwood ran for president in 1884 and 1888 on the ticket of the National Equal Rights Party and was the first woman to appear on official ballots. Representing a third party without a broad base of support, Lockwood did not have a serious chance of winning the presidency. Lockwood died in 1917 at the age of 86. Mary Edwards Walker (November 26, 1832 - February 21, 1919) was an American feminist, abolitionist, prohibitionist, alleged spy, prisoner of war and surgeon. She was frequently arrested for wearing masculine styled clothing. She died in 1919, just one year before the passage of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution which guaranteed women the right to vote. No photographer credited, 1912.
