Well written nonfiction picture book biography.
Interesting story and great end papers make this a book to have in classrooms and libraries!
In light of our recent presidential election campaigns, this would make a great book to study!

Long before Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin and Geraldine Ferraro, there was Belva Lockwood who ran for president before women could even vote. She also was the first woman to argue a case before the Supreme Court, she fought for the ability of the first black man to argue before the Supreme Court, and she represented the Eastern Cherokee Indian Nation over the "Trail of Tears" that they were forced to march and won them five million dollars. I had never heard of her until this book, but I think she's someone that everyone should know.
(Sadly, not a Smithie. She went to Genesee College, which is now Syracuse University.)

In 1884, before women could even vote, this forward-thinking woman actually ran for president. And more than that, she had a female running mate (take that, Geraldine Ferraro!). She received over 1200 votes, from men, since they were the only ones who could vote at the time. She probably received more than that, but many of her votes were given away or thrown away by men who did not think that a woman could or should be president.
