Ruth Bryan Owen

Ruth Bryan Owen (October 2, 1885 – July 26, 1954) daughter of William Jennings Bryan and Mary E. Bard. Ruth, a Democrat, became Florida’s (and the South's) first woman representative in the United States Congress in 1929, coming from Florida’s 4th district. Representative Owen was also the first woman to earn a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives - 404 )〕 In 1933, she became the first woman appointed as a U.S. ambassador to another country when President Roosevelt selected her to be Ambassador to Denmark and Iceland.〔Vickers, Sarah Pauline. ''The Life of Ruth Bryan Owen: Florida’s First Congresswoman and America’s First Woman Diplomat.'' Ph.D. dissertation, Florida State University, (1994)〕
==Biography==
She was born on October 2, 1885 in Jacksonville, Illnois. Ruth's father was a 3-time presidential candidate. Growing up Ruth had to move several times depending on her fathers work in politics. Ruth attended public schools in Washington D.C and the Monticello Female Academy in Gofrey, Illnois. In 1901 she began to take classes at the University of Nebraska.
In 1903 Ruth Bryan dropped out of the University of Nebraska to marry William H. Leavitt, a well-known Newport, Rhode Island, portrait painter, who was painting Bryan's father's portrait when the couple met.〔(The Leavitt-Bryan Wedding, The New York Times, Sept. 23, 1903 )〕 The couple had two children before divorcing in 1909. She married Reginald Owen, a British Army officer in 1910,〔(The Owen-Bryan Wedding, The New York Times, May 4, 1910 )〕 bearing two more children. Her second husband died in 1928. She spent three years in Oracabessa, Jamaica, where she oversaw the design and construction of her home, Golden Clouds, which is now operated as a luxury villa. Owen kept her home in Jamaica for over three decades and spent many winters there, particularly in later years when she lived in Denmark and New York. She detailed her time in Jamaica and experiences at Golden Clouds in vivid detail in her book, ''Caribbean Caravel''.〔Caribbean Caravel, Ruth Brown Owen, Dodd, Mead & Co. (1949), New York, 222 pages〕
