Teaching Frustrated Jovita Idár had a lifelong drive to improve life for the less fortunate. Born in  1885 in Laredo, she attended school and obtained her teacher's  certificate at age 18. Idár taught for a few years, but soon became  frustrated by the terrible conditions in her school and her inability to do anything about them. She resigned and went to join her brothers in writing for their father's newspaper, La Crónica.

La Crónica La Crónica was a Spanish language newspaper that focused on news and  issues important to Mexican Texans. It reported on inequalities in  education and economic conditions between Hispanic and Anglo Texans, as  well as violence, including lynching, toward Tejanos. In 1911, the paper organized a conference, El Congreso Mexicanista, that brought together Mexican Americans to  discuss what was happening. Idár joined many other women at the  conference, who attended as both speakers and participants. The  conference resulted in La Liga Femenil Mexicanista,  which worked to get education for poor children, with Idár as its first  president and "Por la Raza, Para la Raza" [By the Race, For the Race] as its motto. The conference also created a network of Hispanic women ready to fight for suffrage. Idár would publish her first of many  articles on women's suffrage that same year. The paper was also vocal in  its support of the ongoing Mexican Revolution.

La Cruz Blanca In  1913, the Mexican Revolution came to Laredo's doorstep with a battle in Nuevo Laredo. Idár joined  her friend Leonor Villegas de Magnon in crossing the border to nurse and assist wounded soldiers. Magnon took the experience and created La Cruz Blanca, an organization similar to the Red Cross. Idár joined the organization and spent some of 1914 traveling across Northern Mexico to assist the wounded, but returned to Laredo later that year. While Magnon continued working with La Cruz Blanca, opening her home to the wounded and eventually being awarded a medal by the Mexican government, Idár returned to Laredo to fight for Mexican American and Women's rights on a different front.

Newspapers Back in Laredo, Idár joined the staff of El Progreso, and reported on the lynching of Mexican Americans in Texans, leading some to compare her to Ida B. Wells. As part of her reporting, she exposed the violence practiced by the Texas Rangers and protested President Wilson sending troops to the US-Mexico border. Wilson sent the Rangers to shut the paper down, but Idár stood in the doorway and refused to let them in. The victory was short lived, however, since the Rangers came back and shut the paper down later. Idár returned to La Cronica and, after her father died in 1914, she ran the paper.

Married Life Idár married Bartolo Juarez in 1917 and retired a bit from public life. The couple moved to San Antonio, where Idár continued to be involved with Mexican American life. She served as a translator at the local hospitals and established a free kindergarten. She got more involved in the Democratic Party and continued to work with newspapers, serving as an editor for the Methodist Church's publication, El Heraldo Cristiano. Idár passed away in 1946, having helped to create the transnational identity of la Raza.
