Agnes Ballard

 * ... that Agnes Ballard (pictured) was the first woman licensed as an architect in Florida in 1914, and one of the first women elected to public office in Florida in 1920? Source: "She was the first woman licensed architect in the state of Florida...in 1914..." from  and "The first Florida woman elected to office...was Miss Agnes Ballard, who was chosen Palm Beach county superintendent of public instruction" from  (note latter source misreports the year, other sources in article are clear it is 1920)
 * ALT1: ... that Agnes Ballard (pictured) of Florida was the first woman licensed as an architect and also was among the first women elected to public office in that state?
 * ALT2:... that Agnes Ballard (pictured), the first woman licensed as an architect in Florida, once said she mostly designed "apartments, residences and hot dog stands"?

 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on excellent sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and shows decently in small size. - Sorry, I don't like these "first - first" hooks. I am surprised that there's not much talk in the article about what she designed as an architectm but think "apartments, residences and hot dog stands" would sound interesting, combined with one "first" perhaps. - I formatted the pictured-clause for you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:05, 21 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I've also slightly edited the first two hooks, because since nominating this I've discovered there was a woman elected to a mayorship 3 years before Ballard. I agree the hot dog stand quote is interesting so I've added an ALT2 above incorporating that.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg thank you, I like that so much better that I struck the others, - nice personal touch. I delinked "architect", and wonder about Florida ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:22, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
