A Lady Has the Floor: Belva Lockwood Speaks Out for Women's Rights by Kate Hannigan

4.0

What a woman...and do we even know about her? The first woman member of the bar of the US Supreme Court. The first woman to successfully run for president. She fought for women's rights, and the rights of all who are oppressed. She actually won a huge settlement for the Cherokee Nation in 1906 -- she won the tribe the full sale price (and interest) for land they were forced to abandon. She even came here to make sure the funds were distributed.

A mighty girl for sure. Another book for my biography lesson!
