Best Answer

Frances E. Willis, the first female full ambassador, was first appointed as a field service officer to Switzerland in 1953 by President Dwight Eisenhower. John F. Kennedy was President when she reached the rank of full ambassador (to Ceylon) in 1962. The question is too vague to say definitively whether DDE or JFK was the one who appointed her as the first female ambassador -- DDE first appointed her, but she wasn't a full ambassador until nine years later under JFK.
