Ruth Bryan Owen
Get PDFRuth Bryan Owen was an orator, a US Democratic congresswoman (1929–1933), and a minister to Denmark and Iceland from 1933 to 1936. She was the daughter of the “Great Commoner” William Jennings Bryan, a three-time Democratic presidential nominee who retired to Florida in the late 1910s. She was married three times, first to Chicago artist William Homer Leavitt, in 1903, then to retired major Reginald Altham Owen, and lastly to the Danish captain Borge Rohde in 1936 (Vickers 59). Between 1919 and 1922, however, she devoted almost all of her energies to filmmaking in Miami, Florida, declaring in a letter dated July 22, 1921, to her friend Carrie Dunlap that she loved nothing as she loved the cinema, and she had finally found her true “métier.” She independently financed, produced, wrote, and directed the feature film Once Upon a Time/Scheherazade (1922), which is now considered lost

Get PDFWhen Ruth Bryan Owen was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by Rollins College in 1927, she had yet to hold an elected office. A year before Owen won election as Florida’s first congresswoman, her contemporaries were already commemorating her meritorious work on behalf of her state and her country.

Abstract
Sharon Bryan Reads "Breaking and Entering" from "Objects of Affection" (0:35). Stan Saville Rubin interviews Sharon Bryan. Bryan was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and educated at the University of Utah where she studied philosophy, Cornell University where she received an MA in anthropology, and The University of Iowa Writers Workshop where she earned her MFA. She's the author of two collections of poetry, "Salt Air" published in 1983, and "Objects of Affection" published in 1987 by Wesleyan University Press. She has received awards including The Academy of American Poets Prize, the Discovery the Nation Award, and the Governor's Award from the State of Washington, and has held NEA fellowships. At the time of filming Bryan is a Professor of English at the Memphis State University and editor of the literary magazine River City. Stan opens the conversation with an invitation to discuss the origin and nature of the opening poem. Bryan outlines the story and the influences that aided her creation of the poem. Expanding further into the content of "Objects of Affection", they discuss the heavy handed artistic and literary influences that are found in a number of the collected poems. Bryan talks about why the unaddressed epitaph is at the beginning of "Objects of Affection" and what informed her decision to put it there. Stan asks her about the careful organization of the collection but Bryan reveals that the organization wasn't as deeply considered as it appears. They talk about the style of her poems and how she tends not to use prose. Stan moves the conversation to "Salt Air" which was written 6 years after leaving Iowa. Bryan talks about how so much of her life was leaving behind Salt Lake. Bryan reads "Viewing the Body" "from Salt Air" (16:08). Bryan speaks on when she first knew she wanted to write and how she meandered through her education because, as far as she was aware, creative writing as an occupation wasn't available until she had arrived at Cornell and then why she chose to go to the Iowa Writers Workshop. Stan asks Bryan to speak at length about her role as Editor of the River City literary magazine and how she looks at poetry through that editor's lens. They discuss the social significance of poetry and address critiques about poetry's place for speaking on difficult issues of the time. Bryan talks about the major influences on her writing and her push to publish her poetry for public consumption and how she found out her first collection was going to be printed. Bryan reads "Theory" from her upcoming collection of poems "Flying Blind: Poems" (38:27) and "Trimmings" also from "Flying Blind: Poems" (39:47).Archived web conten

O pionierkach w dyplomacji amerykańskiej i Ruth Bryan Owen – pierwszej Madame Poseł USA
Get PDFCelem niniejszego artykułu jest pokazanie prób i zabiegów Amerykanek o pracę w służbie zagranicznej USA po I wojnie światowej. Ich usilne starania i niełatwe próby przebicia się przez tradycję i uprzedzenia doprowadziły w latach dwudziestych XX w. do zatrudnień pierwszych kobiet w dyplomacji, mimo utrudnień i oporu kręgów rządowych, a zwłaszcza esprit de corps. Ruth Bryan Owen powołana w 1933 r. przez Franklina D. Roosevelta na stanowisko posła w Danii przejdzie do historii jako pierwsza Amerykanka kierująca placówką zagraniczną Stanów Zjednoczonych. The main aim of the article is to presents efforts of American women seeking employment in the U.S. foreign service after the First World War. Their attempts and endeavours to break through tradition and prejudices resulted in the 1920s to the employment of first women in the American diplomacy, despite hindrances and resistance of the governmental milieus. Ruth Bryan Owen, appointed in 1933 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt as minister plenipotentiary to Denmark, went down in history as the first American female head of American foreign post
