I’m writing a series of articles about life, people, and events during the Depression years of the thirties and early forties.
REPRESENTATIVE RUTH BRYANT OWENS
Ruth Bryant Owens was a lady very much in the forefront of the news during the depression years in the 1930’s. She was a United States Minister to Denmark, US Representative, High Society, married a guard for Danish King, Christian.
Articles were written about her travels to Greenland, donning Greenlander costumes and visiting 14 of the 17 settlements there. There are stories about her Christmas shopping there and buying gifts for the Eskimos. Greenland was a colony of Denmark and as us minister to Denmark the press followed in her travels.
