Adelina “Nina” Otero-Warren was a woman’s suffragist, educator, politician, and was the “first Latina” in a number of political roles, including running for Congress.
Born in 1881, into the Hispanic elite of New Mexico, Otero-Warren began her political career working with the woman’s suffrage campaign in New Mexico, becoming the first Mexican American woman to hold a leadership role in the Congressional Union, the precursor to Alice Paul’s National Women’s Party.
