Adelina Otero-Warran's role was to advocate for the 19th Amendment, the right for women to vote, in New Mexico as leader of the suffrage movement in that state (New Mexico became a state in 1912). She worked to encourage Hispanic participation in the suffrage movement and she ran for many political offices at the local, as well as the national, level. New Mexico ratified the 19th-Amendment in 1920.
