Felisa Rincón de Gautier

Felisa Rincón de Gautier〔This name uses Spanish marriage naming customs; the first is the maiden family name '' "Rincón"'' and the second or matrimonial family name is ''"Gautier"''.〕 (also known as Doña Fela) (January 9, 1897 – September 16, 1994) was the first woman to be elected as the Mayor of a capital city in The Americas.
==Early years==
Rincón de Gautier, was born on January 9th, 1897 in Ceiba, Puerto Rico. The oldest of all siblings (Felisa,Josefina,Cecilia,Esilda,Ramon,Rafael,Enrique and Rita), she was politically influenced by her father, attorney Enrique Rincón Plumey, family of an earlier Mayor of Yabucoa. Her mother, teacher Rita Marrero Rivera, died when she was around 11 years old. However, despite this, her father was determined to give her the best education possible. She went to school in Fajardo, Humacao and Santurce although she did not graduated from high school; in the summers she visited her uncle in San Lorenzo where she learned how to prepare medications pharmacy and became a pharmacist.〔
After her mother passed away her father remarried Mercedes Acha,mother of her half brother Manuel. During those years Felisa was expected to run the household and raise her younger brothers and sisters.
In the early 2oth century, "there was no welfare on the island; no social department to provide money or clothing or food for the poor(but) no jibaro would let another jibaro starve. This was the most important truth she learned. The jibaros were a people steeped in tradition, the noblest of which was their hospitality" (Ruth Gruber, Felisa Rincon de Gautier: The Mayor of San Juan).
An expert seamstress, Felisa set herself the goal of creating employment in Puerto Rico by launching a local clothing factory. In order to master necessary skills she worked for two years in New York City during the Great Depression, living with relatives including her sister, Josefina.
Upon her return to San Juan,she entered the wholesale/retail business and opened Felis's Style Shop on Fortaleza Street in Old San Juan. A successful career woman, she later ventured into managing a flower shop called Miles de Flores. Throughout her lifetime she remained closely tied to the Roman Catholic Church as she directed her efforts to raising the standards of living of impoverished Puerto Ricans
