Ruth Bryan Owen Rohde by PDF Summary

Book Description: Autographed photograph typed, signed note America/Denmark Ruth Bryan Owen (October 2, 1885 - July 26, 1954) was the daughter of William Jennings Bryan and mother of Helen Rudd Brown. A Democrat, in 1929 she became Florida's (and the South's) first woman representative in the United States Congress, coming from Florida's 4th district. Representative Owen was also the first woman to earn a spot on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. In 1933, she became the first woman appointed as a U.S. Ambassador when President Roosevelt selected her to be U.S. Ambassador to Denmark and Iceland. She served as Ambassador until 1936, when she married Borge Rohde, a Danish Captain of the King's Guard, in July. This gave her dual citizenship as a Dane, so she resigned her post in September. She was also a delegate to the San Francisco Conference which established the United Nations after World War II. In 1948, President Truman named her an alternate delegate to the U.N. General Assembly. She died July 26, 1954 in Copenhagen, Denmark and was cremated. Her ashes were interred at Ordrup Cemetery, Copenhagen.
