EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Belva Ann Lockwood, a prominent figure in American history known for her tireless efforts as a lawyer and women's rights advocate. The image captures an anti-Lockwood campaign card from around 1884, featuring a clever cartoon depiction of Benjamin F. Butler as the "power behind the skirts". Lockwood's candidacy was met with opposition, and this satirical illustration aimed to undermine her by suggesting that she was merely a puppet controlled by Butler, who represented traditional male dominance. However, this campaign card also serves as a testament to Lockwood's resilience and determination in challenging societal norms. Lockwood dedicated her life to fighting for gender equality and empowering women through political activism. As one of America's earliest feminists, she played a pivotal role in advocating for suffrage rights and breaking down barriers faced by women in society. The image encapsulates the struggles faced by female candidates during that era while highlighting Lockwood's unwavering commitment to feminism. It is both an important historical artifact depicting sexism prevalent at the time and a symbol of hope for future generations striving towards gender equality. Belva Ann Lockwood left an indelible mark on American history through her groundbreaking work as an attorney and championing women's rights. Her legacy continues to inspire those fighting against discrimination today.
