In 1884, when men were the only people allowed to vote in national elections, Belva Lockwood took a bold but legal step: She ran for president! Though her campaign was difficult, Belva never wavered in her commitment to equality, earning the respect of many fellow citizens. A little-known but richly deserving American historical figure, Belva is an inspiration for modern-day readers.

hen Belva Lockwood was ten years old, she read that, with a little bit of faith, anyone could move a mountain.
She took the words literally. Of course, Belva didn t try to move a whole mountain-after all, she was just a child. A hill seemed much more appropriate. She scouted around until she found the perfect one. She picked out a small hill outside her house and concentrated all of her willpower on moving it. She had faith in herself, and she was determined to move that hill, even if it was just the tiniest little bit. The hill stayed put. But Belva never stopped trying to move mountains.
