The Women of LULAC
LULAC was one of the first national organizations to place emphasis on the role of women. Its first council #9 was created on February 22, 1934, in El Paso, Texas. By 1938, the league had created the first women's national office in Mrs. Ester Machuca as Ladies Organizer General.
The growth of the role of women in LULAC has never stopped. In 1981, the league's first National Vice-President for Women was elected. Programs for women are carried out at the local level through the efforts of state coordinators for women. One of the league's most successful programs has been two-day conferences on education and employment held in various states, and a national conference "Adelante Mujer Hispana."
