Did Ruth Bryan Owen say anything important?
It's not so much what she said as what she did-- she was quite a role model for young women of the 1920s, an era when women's roles were changing. Ruth Bryan Owen got involved in politics after women got the right to vote: she became Florida's first woman representative in Congress, in 1929. Representative Owen also became the first woman on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. She was sometimes heard on radio, debating politics or discussing issues. And then, in 1933, she became the first woman appointed to be a U.S. ambassador to a foreign country: President Roosevelt chose her as Ambassador to Denmark and Iceland.

A "pocket veto" is where the President of the United States fails to sign a passed bill within 10 days and the bill automatically becomes a law. If Congress adjourns (break off a meeting, legal case, or game with the intention of resuming it later) before the 1-day period is up and the president still has not taken any action on the bill, it is automatically vetoed. This is called a pocket veto.
