If you've never heard of Belva Lockwood, you're not alone. Though she was the first woman to run a full campaign for the U.S. Presidency, her name was mostly lost to history. Join Kojo to learn about the life of this nineteenth century attorney and find out why her candidacy annoyed so many suffragists working to get women the right to vote.
