Ruth Bryan Owen was endowed with intelligence, beauty, charm, and tremendous physical energy, and she knew how to use them all. Together with a burning ambition and a drive toward center stage, these qualities fueled a career that was a remarkable one for her time and place. She was the eldest daughter of William Jennings Bryan, who was Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson and three-time nominee of the Democratic Party to be President of the United States. Gifted with her father's oratorical skills and the exceptional talent needed for public life, she was the first woman elected to the House of Representatives from the Old South. She subsequently spent four years as minister to Denmark, the first woman to fill such a post in the history of the U.S. diplomatic corps. She was also the first woman on the popular Chautauqua lecture circuit to receive pay equal to men's.

This attentive and loving memoir, written by her youngest daughter, provides an intimate portrait of a remarkable woman who became a genuine celebrity during the 1920s and 1930s, when the cult of celebrity was just taking shape. She lived an active life of public speaking and international government service, published several books, and taught college classes, all the while raising her children and providing support for them and her invalid husband. Long before Second Wave Feminism, she was an icon of women's capacity to manage both a public and a private life. Her life story encompassed two world wars, the presidencies of Harry S. Truman and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and involved such public figures as Fannie Hurst, Sam Rayburn, and William Randolph Hearst. Yet at the peak of her career, seeking relief from the strains of public life, she made the mistake of marrying a man who put an end to her diplomatic and political life.

A woman of substance, Ruth Bryan Owen played an important role in American politics in an age when such involvement was rare, and thus serves as an early figure in the history of American feminism. But above all, the book reveals the private life of a very human woman, with rich and sometimes difficult relationships, who struggled to balance her personal needs to be loved and cared for with her desire to make the world a better and fairer place for all.

The story of a truly remarkable woman

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 18 de junio de 2014

Compra verificada

This biography written by Ruth Bryan Owen's daughter tells the story of a truly remarkable woman, who faced her challenges both personally and politically, with an admirable strength of fortitude. Her life story is intertwined with family scandal, rejection, success and failure, together with blazing the trail for women in politics in the USA. At a time when women were struggling to be recognised in business and politics Ruth Bryan Owen reached the pinnacle of achievement. It is a fascinating story that deserves to be more widely known.
The story is told from the perspective of the author reflecting back on her mother's extraordinary life. It is written in a style that makes comfortable reading. I find it even more poignant to write this review as the nephew of Ruth and her husband Reggie Owen. It is indeed a privilege to be able to do so.

An exciting memoir

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 9 de julio de 2014

Compra verificada

I enjoyed reading the book because I know the author and had heard how famous her mother had been, but without the facts. As a European woman, it was exciting to read about an American woman who had the gumption to do all that she did at a time when these things were not done. I enjoyed the style of the writing as well as the historical data.
