Dolores Alexander was a lesbian feminist, writer, and reporter.

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".
