Laura N. Torres was an early twentieth century Mexican journalist and founder of an early feminist organization.

In 1904, Torres founded a feminist society named Admiradoras de Juárez.

The organization that Torres founded was criticized by the contemporary historian Justo Sierra, who said it was a refuge for old, ugly women were trying to imitate men. Provided by Wikipedia
