Who was Dolores Alexander?
Dolores Alexander was a lesbian feminist, writer, and reporter. Alexander is the only Executive Director of the National Organization for Women to have resigned because of the homophobic beliefs in the early inception of NOW. She co-opened "Mother Courage" with Jill Ward, creating the first feminist restaurant in the United States. Until her death, in 2008, she continued to believe in the need for the women's rights movement in contemporary times, stating that "It's bigotry, and I don't know if you can eliminate it".
