This article is part of Overlooked, a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times.
Dolores Alexander had a few distinct careers throughout her life. She worked for The New York Times, Newsday and Time magazine.
She was executive director of the National Organization for Women, working alongside its president and co-founder, Betty Friedan.
And she was a founder of the organization Women Against Pornography. But she was perhaps best known for opening one of the first feminist restaurants in the United States, Mother Courage, with Jill Ward, her girlfriend at the time.
