Excerpt from A Diplomat's Helpmate: How Rose F. Foote, Wife of the First U. S. Minister and Envoy Extraordinary to Korea, Served Her Country in the Far East
In this world war for the right no woman has been called upon to essay more a valiant part than Rose F. Foote of California played for American womanhood in the dawn of our country's life in Korea.
As the wife of Lucius Harwood Foote the first United States Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to Korea she was the first occidental woman to enter the ancient capital, Seoul. She took her place as the American Minister's faithful partner, her intellectual and spiritual preparedness together with her tact and beauty enabling her fully to become his loyal ally in the delicate and portentous tasks that confronted this diplomatic pioneer in the Land of the Morning Calm.
Mrs. Foote's perfect poise her intuitive diplomacy and her great kindliness daily aided her husband in his unswervingly straightforward course through the sea of oriental intrigue.
The response to the test of service to her fellowmen won for her the confident regard of the peculiar people of Korea and transmuted the bitter antagonism of their powerful Queen into a sincere trust and affection.
A harbinger of the Red Cross when it was scarce known, her noble ministrations would inspire a worker in that field of merciful endeavor. Her patriotism as expressed in heroic allegiance to our flag and all that it stands for, and her high-hearted courage and selflessness in the midst of battle, foreshadowed the brave sacrifice of women in today's struggle for freedom.
