Dulce María Borrero de Luján (1883–1945) was a Cuban poet and essayist, "one of the leading feminists of her day".

[3] Forced into exile at the outset of the Cuban War of Independence, the family emigrated to Key West in Florida in 1896.

[4] While in Florida, Dulce María started publishing her poetry in Revista de Cayo Hueso.

[1] At the second National Women's Congress in 1925, a resolution by Ofelia Domínguez Navarro to ensure equal rights for illegitimate children (constituting 23% of the 1919 population) caused a split between radical and conservative feminists.

After delegates refused to support the resolution, Dulce María, Domínguez Navarro, Mariblanca Sabas Alomá and Ofelia Rodríguez Acosta walked out of the conference.
