		Felisa Rincón de Gautier, mejor conocida como doña Fela, fue la primera mujer en ocupar la alcaldía de una ciudad importante del hemisferio Occidental.
		Con la fuerza de su imaginación, iniciativa y perseverancia, doña Felisa fue una de las primeras mujeres en votar en Puerto Rico y en ocupar una posición de liderato dentro de un partido político en los años 30 y en ser nombrada a un cargo importante en el servicio público en la década del 1940.
		Sus ya famosas audiencias de los miércoles permitían que cada ciudadano se sintiera confiado que la Alcaldesa trataría por todos los medios de resolver los problemas que le trajeran a su atención.
