	IDRA Newsletter: Alice Dickerson Montemayor's: Feminist Challenge to LULAC in the 1930s
		One of the most radical women in LULAC was Alice Dickerson Montemayor who at the time of her activism in the 1930s was a wife, mother, worker, businesswoman and middle-class woman.
		LULAC's dismal record of gender politics, however, suggests that Laredo men's attitude was the typical male sentiment though perhaps not as blatant.
		Nevertheless, she was an anomaly in the history of LULAC in Texas and the United States, and no other feminist in the league has proven as controversial with perhaps the exception of fiery ex-Texas state director Rosa Rosales.
