Rosa Torre González

[7] Torre served as a promoter for the gathering, traveling to Acanceh, Temax and Motul to boost the attendance of qualified women.

The group "campaigned against prostitution, drugs, alcohol and superstition" and gave educational talks about birth control, child care, economics and hygiene.

[5] In 1922, Governor Felipe Carrillo Puerto urged the legislature of the state of Yucatán to allow women to vote and hold office.

[9] Torre ran for a seat on the Mérida city council and won, becoming the first woman in Mexico to hold elective office.

[10] Her term was cut short with the assassination of Carrillo Puerto, but Torre was proud of her service and aware that the achievement was a symbol for other women.
