In honor of Women’s History Month we are highlighting the service of Ruth Bryan Owen, America’s first woman diplomat. She served as minister to Denmark from 1933 to 1936. Owen represented Florida in the House of Representatives from 1929 to 1933 and was an alternate U.S. representative to the United Nations in 1949. This portrait of Owen is part of a collection that is housed in the Diplomatic Reception Rooms at U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. #WomensHistoryMonth
