Past & Present: Adelina Nina Otero-Warren Achieved A Number Of Firsts

1:54 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. Able to speak both Spanish and English, Otero-Warren was instrumental in reaching out to New Mexico’s mostly Spanish-speaking population. Because of her family’s prominent position, she also held leadership roles in both the Republican Party and Women’s Clubs in the state. For Alice Paul, Otero-Warren’s ability to reach a wide audience of New Mexicans, and lobby New Mexico’s political leadership, meant that she was instrumental in securing the state’s support for the 19th Amendment.
