Supporting Research on American Legal History
An NEH grant helped Norgren research *Belva Lockwood: The Woman Who Would Be President*—the book led to further work on the history of women and the law, public appearances and interviews, and a growing public interest in Lockwood, herself. Image courtesy of New York University Press.

Jill Norgren received her first NEH grant in 1985 to attend a summer seminar for college teachers in Madison, Wisconsin. The seminar was followed by further NEH support for her publications on Native Americans, women, and the law. Through this series of grants, the NEH has fostered Norgren’s long career interpreting and documenting American legal history resulting in lasting impacts on generations of students who have used her textbooks and on the broader understanding of women’s legal history.
